why is it all your hair falls out from all over your body from chemo...Except that one confounded old lady chin hair...my hair came back thin and slow but I now have 8 of those chin hairs?!?!?

Was just in hospital for a week with bad case of cellulitis...which by the way was the exact pattern of the full front and back chest radiation I had a year ago...all from an itsy bitsy teeny puncture wound in the finger...

And the only other place it grows back is where the tape goes for iv and blood draws...lol

Did I miss anything???

    Humor
    Humor is good! What we say may even be the truth, but when said with humor things are so much better!

    Those hairs have a name....
    I have one that grows out of a mole under my chin. I pull it out, it stubbornly returns. Even though I am fair, this single hair is black, and it's stiff as baling wire, and it's curly. My 3 yr old grandson noticed it, and asked why I have a hair there? I told him it's my Witch Hair. So now, when he's on my lap or sitting next to me, he pushes my head back to check if the Witch Hair is still there. I'm letting it grow for Halloween.

    Those Dang Chin Hairs!
    Ugh! And why do you always have to find a new one while sitting in your car at a red light with no twizzers handy! Then, when you get home, you can't find the darn thing! LOL.

    Blahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

    sad,but true. Finished TCH chemo in late December, still waiting for my brows and lashes to grow back - full thickness prior to chemo poisons .. oh well, I'm alive! Best side effort - I can imagine!
