Hair Hair Hair - Another question

I am 3 mos out from Dose Dense AC-T-

My hair is maybe 3/4 inch-I am a natural blonde and it started coming in white with color under. It is pretty thick all over. My eyelashes started coming in around 6 weeks after the last treatment as well. They are a little thicker than what I had to begin with. I am just hoping to keep them.

It is sooo nice having a little bed-head in the morning and I actually have a duck tail in the back!

@ksmatthews-so do you girl-good luck on your scan tomorrow. I have my first 3 month ONC follow-up since completing Chemo and am a little nervous as well.

Once they started, it seemed like they came in quick-I spent alot of time in the magnified mirror and was so excited to see the first nubs of eyelashes! I love your hair color-was it a temporary rinse?

MamaV-they will love the trip, don't forget about butterbeer and they also sell this pumpkin juice. I know it shounds nasty, but it's not really pumpkin, kinda an applecider with alot of cinammin-have fun and boy do I get the cold head thing. Love going topless and can a little longer than you up north,but I agree-how to men do it?

marthah-I used a Sally Henson product for dry brittle nails and that seemed to help. Your hair looks great and growing so fast.

ksmattheus-glad I made you smile and good luck with CT,make sure you let us know how it goes. As far as stupid people, remember you can cure cancer, but you can't cure stupid-F'em I say.

beccasgm-cool, we have about the same hair growth in the same time frame. When was your last chemo? Mine was Aug 8th.

Looking good ladies! Keep the pictures coming to encourage us all!

survivor11-my last chemo was the 4th of August! Woot!

I am getting ready to see my ONC for the first three month follow-up and am a little nervous.

I would love to see pics of your growth.

What are the rules for coloring?

I am 7 1/2 weeks PFC.  "Hair" is mostly thin grey stubble on the top, but longer on the sides. 

Dr office just called and scan was "all clear"!!!

@KSmatthews-Yay! Good for you!

becca you look great. wish my husband was a hiardresser! your so lucky your hair is nice and straight i am like little orpahn annie lol

KS - YIPPEEE!

KS - I'm doing the happy dance for you!!!

Martha - hope you can get some rest.  I will be starting rads on 11/30.  I have my planning session this Thursday.  Should really make me energetic right around Christmas...lol.

Beccasgm - good luck with your follow-up.  Sending positive thoughts for an "all clear" visit.

survivor11, tomorrow I am starting another med for the sweating. I hope it helps as the problem is getting ridiculous; hardly any flashing but heaps of sweating.



Re the extensions, the type I am getting will be two wefts/bands that wrap around the back of the head, secured by little plastic cylinders to my own hair. I need to have at least 2 inches of length, probably ideally more, for the stylist to work with in attaching the wefts. There is then a small toupé piece to cover the short hair on the crown. Cost is $530 for the wefts, about $200 for the toupé and $130 every 6 - 8 weeks for maintenance/repositioning of the wefts as the hair grows.



There may be other extensions that are cheaper, but not for hair as short as mine. Also, this system does not damage the hair.

I am 29 weeks pfc today. Yesterday I was massaging my head and afterwards I noticed that one hair had fallen out! I measured the length and it was 1 5/8 inches :-( .



I am happy to have hair but need more. I have enough to go topless but only do so when I know that I won't see anyone I know as only my sister knows about my hair loss.
