eyebrows and eyelashes
Hi Jean,
My eyebrows and lashes stayed in almost till the end of treatment (4 dd A/C and 12 weekly Taxols). I also thought I was "safe" because I had made it through most of chemo. The hair on my head fell out 2 weeks after my first A/C, but started to grow back during the Taxol. I have pretty thick, but fine, hair about 3/4" long all over my head ( and solid white I might add!!) and I am now 3 weeks out of chemo. The lashes and eyebrows are nowhere to be found.......
Love, Kelly
