Last treatment oct lost hair, eyelashes and most of the brows. Hair on head is just showing darkness all the way around. Went to eye doctor I cant see them but he said lashes are coming in about 1/4 cent. now. I have a bunch of eye issues since chemo, taxotere.0 -

that everyone is different. I still have my leg hairs, everyone of them! eyebrows about 1/2 but the wrong half! So I still have to pluck! Eyelashes were always slim, so now they are almost nonexistent, and "coochie" is bald! Go figure. My peach fuzz has already begun and I still have 7 more Taxol treatments to go.0 -

I was kind of upset that my leg hairs and arm pit hairs survived chemo. And it did take me some time to get used to a bald hoo-ha.

Funky Hair
I've lost spots of hair on my head - so I shaved it. Now I have funky hair growing in but still have bald spots! I wonder if the rest will fall out or not! My armpits are hair-free, but my leg hair has held on. It is growing lots slower, but it is still there. The hair on my arms has thinned - as has the pooky hair. My eyelashes are thinning - but not my eyebrows! I'm half way through - so I figure there is time for more to go - or not! It's crazy!

I'm halfway thru chemo, too.
I still have leg hair, which was disappointing, I was hoping that would fall out! It does grow much slower, I only have to shave like once a week.
I have a bald spot on my eyelashes, but still have most, they're falling out slowly. I have thinning eye brows, I just use a pencil and fill them in, I'm getting pretty good at it.
No arm pit hair, which is cool.
Hey, gotta look at the bright side, eh? Of course it's 20° here, so who really cares.0 -
Funny thing is ... I too have eyebrows and lashes ...mom62 said:Losing Lashes & Eyebrows
Hi,
I lost my hair, lashes, nose hair within 3 weeks of my first chemo. I had cytoxan and taxotere. I still have my eyebrows which to me is weird. It will all grow back eventually. This is my second time around.
thinned out .. but still present on my face. With proper make-up, I look pretty good, and no so sickly. However, with my twitching eyes, and consistent eye dripping - it is difficult to wear any type of eye makeup. So most days I don't bother. Plus, my -- lack of energy - does not grant me a lot of time to groom myself.
I am still shaving my underarms, and legs, not as often. Never lost my southern region of hair. Lost my nose hair ... werid!
All I want for Christmas, is SCALP hair ..
