I too have very little hair on my legs. I have really no hair on the underarm where I had radiation and the other armpit has just light growth. My eyebrow hair is very thin and I have to use a brow pencil now which is weird as my eyebrows used to be really thick and I had to pluck them so they looked normal. The hair on my head has always been fine and it's about the same as it was before chemo except that it's more curly.
