Barb,
My eyelashes were long and lush until the second Taxol. Then they began to fall out over a period of a few weeks. Eventually they were all gone. My brows thinned severely, but never completely feel out. The E.T. look wasn't a good one for me. After the last treatment of TH my lashes began to grow out quite quickly it seemed. As for my hair, I had my first haircut at about 4 months. It was very short, but I went wigless everywhere. I just wore larger earrings. Everyone enjoyed coming over and rubbing my hair. It never bothered me.
I have 2 more treatments of Herceptin. My nails are awful, soft and break easily no matter how trim I keep them. My lashes began falling out a week or so ago, but have new growth, albeit short growth, coming in already so I really didn't get the ET thing going again. My brows seem to be holding steady.
I feel good and have a very optimistic view of my future. The present fight is so worth the future it ensures. Hang in there!
