Smile Re: Chemotherapy Permanent Hair Loss

hi all, i am also unlucky, my hair has not grown back properly, i have what they called male pattern baldness, i finished my chemo last november 2011, i had four epirubicin/ cyclophosfamide and four docetaxol alongside herceptin. I have tried alpacin and minoxidol to no effect. i am going next month to have a biopsy done of my scalp to prevent this happening to others iif possible. I am on tamoxifen and finished herceptin last month, my eyebrows are very sparce and have to draw them on, also i have eye lashes but very thin and short. My leg, underarm and lady garden hair rarely needs shaving not complaning there lol. I hope to god there isnt a lot of ladies in my position, this is devistating after what we have been through, but i can hold my head up and say i am a strong person and i am blessed to still be here xxx love to you all, keep strong xxx
