Re: hair questions
My hair grew back quickly while still on Herceptin, after TCH, and it grew back very thick and darker than my real (Redken) color. Lashes fell out again after but grew back like my original lashes, not the weird bent ones that grew back after 1st loss. Oh, and leg hair was the 1st to grow back and lots of it. What is fair about that?
I think having a pro do your makeup is an excellent idea! I had mine done before Abraxane and I felt pretty for the first time in a long time and she adjusted my colors.
