I would spend my $120 somewhere else
I've never used or even heard of this, but the words "$42.00" and "you'll need several tubes" seriously activate my bu**sh** detector.

Like MyTurn said, please remember that not everyone loses their eyebrows. I did 4 rounds of Taxotere/Cytoxan (I'm sorry, I don't remember what cocktail you're doing?), and my eyebrows stopped growing, but stayed exactly the same until toward the very end, then thinned out for a few weeks, then grew right back very quickly.

I would suggest that you take that $120 and spend it on cute hats, scarves, maybe a beautiful pair of earrings or lipstick -- things that help you feel feminine and attractive. For me, I found that was a worthwhile way to spend my money, and helped me feel better during chemo.

Spend it elsewhere
I agree with Traci. Spend that money where it will really do some good. It sounds like that lady was just trying to make a sale, which is really sad. Good luck!

Hugs, Diane ♥

I totally agree with the others. Why spend the money when you don't even know if it will happen.? I only lost some lashes on one side and my eyebrows thinned a little. That's awful costly too! Wish there was a miracle cure for the hair loss! But, it does come back shortly after Chemo. There is a class called "Look Good-Feel Better" that the ACS sponsors for all the Newbies out there going into Chemo. It's awesome! They give you tips on applying make-up, skin care, show you how to make a turban out of a t-shirt,etc..and send you home with a free bag of make-up and skin products. Just call and they can help you locate a class in your area. It is SO worth going!

Thanks
Thanks for the advice, I truly appreciate it. She was a very nice lady & was a tremdous help in selecting a wig. Very upfront, told me not to spend the $$ on a real hair wig. It was a very nice intimate store that caters to bc survivors. However, she hasn't had bc or lost her hair, so I thought I would ask my friends who have...thank you for the responses.

I'll spend my $$ elsewhere. Just a little nervous because my eyelashes are so thin to begin with. I have plenty of eyebrows & look forward to not plucking them every other day...always a silver lining.

Hugs,
Tina

Don't waste your money with Brian Joseph's Lash and eyebrow Gel.  Most people do not lose their eye brows during chemo because they are so slow growing.

I was sold 10 containers of Brian Joseph's Lash and eyebrow Gel by Strands Inc in Colorado Springs, CO for $400. There is NO ingrediant in the product that counter acts the effects of chemo. The product has never been scientifically proven to work. Brian Joseph's web site does not allow comments (says it doesn't get involved in social media) so no one is able to leave product reviews.

I had 6 months of chemo for breast cancer in 1999 and never lost my eyebrows.

I just completed  chemo for ovarian cancer and lost my eyebrows and eyelashes after the 5th of 6 cycles of chemo while using Brian Joseph's product. I complained to Strands that it didn't work. They refused to give my money back. Anyway, I was easily and cheaply able to paint my eyebrows in with an eyebrow pencil so it was not a problem. My eyebrows and eyelashes quickly grew back in.

Beware of makeup claims as they do not have to be proven and are not monitored in any way.
