Re: Eyelashes--Need Some!

I don't think I am willing to try any products close to my eyes as they are dim enough as it is. One mistake I made is when I finished chemo I went for a facial. My eyebrows were growing in nicely and the cosmetician talked me into have them shaped. She waxed them as she has in the past and lo and behold they never really recovered from that, so take heed. I shaved my legs once and those hairs have not grown back either. I have no armpit hair and am very sparse in other delicate areas. Thank goodness the hair on my head has grown back completely.
