Hey! I've got a crazy question? Does the pubic hair grow back?

Hi,

Mine did, although I wouldn't have minded if it didn't. Lori

Mine doesn't look like there's even an attempt to regrow! When can I expect to see some growth...if ever?

However, it sure would have made swimsuit season easier had it not!

Well, if it grows back, that's cool. If not, that's cool, too...I'll just have to get used to it. Wow, I never would have thought that the radiation would have changed me in so many ways!

Mine didn't except for a couple of stragglers, and of course a gray one or two.

I have a feeling mine is not going to grow back. I have two little strands that managed to survive the radiation, but everything else is completely bald! Hubby says he's going to buy me a toupe (sp?) (pronounced too pay). I don't mind that the hair is gone, but it just looks so weird! I guess I can get used to it.

I thought for a time that mine was not going to make a comeback, but there were finally signs of new growth and now I can't tell it was ever gone. When it was gone, I sort of had that "plucked chicken" look! I didn't have to shave my legs either during chemo, which was so very nice--that hair all grew back too!

lost all of mine. Came back thinner and let's just suffice it to say that I will never have the need for a bikini wax. Just a little coverage, so I wasn't left with the "plucked chicken" look Martha was so accurate in describing. :)

Thanks for the laugh!!!
