Radiation doesn't affect the hair in my case since the beam isn't directed at my head or my arm pit (dang that!). If it was at the arm pit, then that hair would probably not grow.<BR/><BR/>I normally have a 1/2 inch growth each month - per the hairdresser. I have more than a 1/2 inch - but just a few places. Hopefully it will kick in once the chemo is out of my system. I thought 6 weeks was long enough!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827641133321770183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707291043684115299.post-11092770826534850802009-01-19T13:34:00.000-08:002009-01-19T13:34:00.000-08:00Oh Renee, you are not alone.

When I asked the nurses about it, they said that sometimes happens...would've been nice to know, right? <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry. I found that eyeliner helped.<BR/><BR/>Many hugs,<BR/>KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707291043684115299.post-10492825187295084382009-01-19T12:06:00.000-08:002009-01-19T12:06:00.000-08:00Renee,I know you have a little hole in your lashes...Renee,<BR/><BR/>I know you have a little hole in your lashes, but you have thicker, longer lashes than I do. I hate my eyelashes. <BR/><BR/>Did the doctor say how long it would take for your hair to grow back? Is the radiation keeping it from growing now, or is it just from the chemo? And I agree with your granddaughter, McKenzie, you are still beautiful!!<BR/><BR/>Oh, I also left a message for you on your last post. I hadn't seen this one yet. Just wanted to make sure you saw that one.<BR/><BR/>You take care.<BR/>Love you!<BR/>KimKim Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01307762906998681776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707291043684115299.post-52646789548819638482009-01-19T08:44:00.000-08:002009-01-19T08:44:00.000-08:00Thank you ladies for your support and kind words!T...Thank you ladies for your support and kind words!<BR/><BR/>The world continues despite my eye lashes falling out. Even tho it felt/feels like the world should stop for a minute while we grieve. How much more can the cancer take from me?<BR/><BR/>Well, it can't take great friends and family. It can't take my humor. It can't take the love from you all. <BR/><BR/>Sue - I'm being treated by Virginia Mason. My hubby works at University of Washington Medical Center. I felt more comfortable going to VM, tho UW is a good program as well.

I will be sad too when my lashes fall out. I am hoping against hope that won't happen. Of course I hoped I would be the only one in the world that wouldn't lose hair to the Red Devil.<BR/>Cancer sucks.<BR/>I used to have oily skin.
