Re: Chemotherapy Permanent Hair Loss

I learn so much from you all. I too was licked by the cow Kind of like the curls, makes it easy to style in the mornings. My eyebrows are still short and thin, my hair came back thicker so I'm hoping it doesn't thin when I finish my Herceptin. I too am glad just to have my hair back.
