When will my hair ever grow back?

Having had thick, waist-length blonde hair before cancer, I have been very impatient about when my hair will grow back. It fell out completely a couple of weeks after the first FEC cycle, and my eyebrows thinned considerably. I lost all but five of my eyelashes towards the end of the Docetaxel cycles. I wasn't too bothered about being bald when I was going through chemo, as I never socialised and was feeling pretty rough. However, now I'm out and about, I am desperate for my hair to grow back. (I've struggled with wigs as they tend to cause migraines). If, like me, you want to know how long you have to wait, my hair started growing back after penultimate Docetaxel. It started off very, very fine, like a newborn baby chick and is growing vertically. Over six weeks I've got about an inch of this baby hair and still look bald, but at least it's progress! However, this last week, I've noticed some tougher, darker hair coming through. It's about a millimetre long but is thick like my old hair used to be. So, I reckon within a few weeks I might be able to go hat-free without people asking me whether I've had cancer (which they do!). I'll keep you posted! Amanda.

Now when we talk about laughter being the best medicine, this photo literally had us in stitches and again, when you're chemo buddies, you just get it!! My hair/body loss hasn't quite been the same as Amanda. Yes, I've lost the hair from my head but it started to grow back after my 4th cycle (1st Docetaxel). When I say it's started to grow back, it's about 2mm so hardly enough to wear a clip just yet but at least I know it will grow back. Saying that, I'm quite partial to my wig... I simply wash it once a week, shake it and put it back on the wig stand, comb through the following day and it is perfect, no styling needed. I do not need to dry it or straighten it either (bonus).
 I have never lost any leg hair at all. None!! Totally unfair!! I have one very thin eyebrow and half an eyebrow on the other side! I haven't actually counted eyelashes but sure I have more than Amanda's five! Debbie.
