update: using Folligen since 3/26 and both of my eyebrows are filling back in with baby hairs. baby lashes are also coming in on my top lash line (not using it on my bottom because it can get in the eyes too easily). could just be that i am 2 months out from chemo and it's time for them to come in, but i must say there was no sign of them at all when i started using Folligen and the daily growth has been remarkable since i began.

aside: hair on upper lip has needed no help growing (unbelievable!), no armpit hair, random long delicate leg hairs (guess i gotta shave), and hair ONLY coming in at the bikini line I WOULD NORMALLY HAVE SHAVED, not in the middle. what the hell???
