OK. Finished ACx4 DD and 1 Taxol (quit it). 33 rads. Hair came back THICK and curly. Used Latisse to fast forward the eyelashes (it works). Eyebrows came right back as did chin hairs (sucks!), and pubic hair. Now I have what I call "The curious case of the diappearing pubic hair". Has this happened to anyone else? Vit D level is fine, etc.

    That came back more sparse for me, but it did come back.  The one thing that has not really returned since '08 is my armpit hair...so weird!!  I have a little patch the size of a dime on each side and that is it.  Why don't the hairs we have to pluck stay gone??  LOL!!  The first hairs to return were those dang ones that made a blonde moustache.....yikes!!   Also, I have one eyebrow that came back in perfectly and the other is crazy.  It looks like hair just got splattered on, but I still don't really have enough of them to clean up so I leave that crazy eyebrow :>

    Mine came in after chemo and now is disappearing again.  I have a patch down the middle that has totally disappeared.  I am guessing it is related to the Aromasin.  My underarm hair and leg hair just barely came in.  My head hair came back thick as before and so far (knock on wood) I am not loosing head hair.....

    tsotis, thanks for starting this thread.  I've noticed the same thing and it annoys me.  Not sure which does more, the eyelashes that still look half there or the pubic hair that looks half there.

    Gotta love the blonde moustache! At least after a couple of shaves the blonde beard and sideburns didn't reappearLaughingMy eyebrows were the surprise. I hadn't factored in that they would sunbleach just as fast as they grew! So now I have to dye them every 4 weels or so. But who's complaining??? I was worried I would look like David Bowie C1985 forever! The pubes? Yes..mine are....tidier.  xx
