When I had chemo my last treatment was at the end of Jan (05) It was a taxol treatment. On Memorial Day weekend, I had a nice hair trim and dyed it. It was "art gallery owner" short but cute. My eyelashes and brows were well back by then. Most here will atest that the eyelashes fall out and grow back a second time but shortly thereafter and they don't all fall out at the same time but chunks do. This probably happened about 4 months after the last chemo. By the end of August 2009 you will be easily able to have a really cute do (like Lisa Rinna type style - since you are only 31 you can google her. It is a "long" short style). Your lashes/brows will be back and you can work for over a year to get the 15 lbs off. It might just slide right off you since you are young. You will feel good and even Herceptin will be done.

HOWEVER, nothing beats true love and if you just want to get married, get married. The wedding is just a day but marriage is forever.

(Also, no question is stupid here)
