Mine came back in brown and gray which is what it was before only with more gray. I had the softest curls and it was so easy to care for. I was kinda sad when it began to look more like my old hair. I dye it all the time now, but when I didn't have hair, that didn't bother me. I just put on a baseball cap to match my outfit and no more bad hair days. I had to adjust to having hair again. Hair-no hair-big deal. 4 years later I'm still here and NED. Yea God!! Yea MD Anderson !!! Yea Herceptin!!!
