Hi All,

I finished four cycles of TC on January 27th. I am seeing some decent hair regrowth on my head. Nothing anywhere else, including my legs, underarms, eyelashes, or genital area. My eyebrows are still coming out with no signs of regrowth. I know the timeline of head hair regrowth, but I can't seem to find anything that discusses the timeline of the other areas. For those of you who have experienced this, how long does each area take to start to regrow?

Thanks!

Jennie

    Jennie, I finished 6 cycles of TCHP on 12/26. My eyebrows are now grown in, probably as of last week. Eyelashes are about half as long as they were. Like you, my eyebrows seemed to be coming out until just a few weeks ago, and then, bam! New brow hairs started appearing and they were fast. Some women report that both lashes and brows come in fast, but my lashes have been slow. I just noticed hair growing down south--not a lot but a start. I am 57 and had very little underarm and leg hair pre-chemo and it has not come back yet. I kept my eyelashes and eyebrows until after chemo was over. It was sad to lose the brows but losing eyelashes was one of the harder parts of the things I lost during treatment.
