Hi Mary Anne,
I'm glad that you are responding so well to your treatment and having that goal in mind will help the nxt 10 mths fly past.

I remember, at the time of losing my hair(all over), that worse than losing the hair on my head, was losing my eyebrows and eyelashes. They are a very feminine part of us and they are also our features. I looked like Uncle Fester from the Adams Family, Not Kidding...!!!
My hair grew back in so tight/curly (eventually straightened) and thick, but my eyelashes and brows never quite got back to their fullness.

With the price we pay to look good, we should have saved a fortune while on chemo!!
No hairdressers, no mascara, no shaving or waxing..(God I miss that last bit) Its a pity the hair from the neck down came back at all.. The first person to invent a drug to that affect, will be a billionaire overnight.

Anyway, its good you can get on with your life, just dont overdo it. Will watch for your future posts on your progress.

God Bless
Geraldine
