Re: Hair Issues

I started losing my hair at day 15 after the chemo started. I shaved my head and wore a wig (at work) and scarves and hats at home. My hair came back gray and straight - it was brown and wavy before- and I've gotten used to it. It's been almost three years and my eyebrows and eyelashes still are very thin - I've given up on them coming back totally.
