green 6 Posted March 12, 2009 Pre chemo and post band, I was losing some of my thick wavy blonde hair; after chemo it grew in hyper curly - like a little lamb - just after I wash it and very, very thick. It is so thick that it has no room to lie down on my head but grows straight up. Folks who see it are amazed by it. It is now 3" tall. And it is grey and darker in Patches. Doesn't match the rug at all! LOL That is still blonde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BethFromVA 5 Posted March 12, 2009 That must be a somewhat normal reaction. My mom's did the same thing after chemo for breast cancer when she was about my age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

green 6 Posted March 12, 2009 BattyGreen! LOVE IT! I can't believe I didn't come up with it first cuz I'm such a hateful meanie. :confused: Hah! They used to call me "Mean Green." She is Batty in my opinion. I have never, ever run across such a self-absorbed, uncaring, shamelessly egocentric individual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat817 19 Posted March 12, 2009 Pre chemo and post band, I was losing some of my thick wavy blonde hair; after chemo it grew in hyper curly - like a little lamb - just after I wash it and very, very thick. It is so thick that it has no room to lie down on my head but grows straight up. Folks who see it are amazed by it. It is now 3" tall. And it is grey and darker in Patches. Doesn't match the rug at all! LOL That is still blonde. Mine fell out a light blonde, and straight, and come back in darker blonde/ light brown, and parts are kinky curly, others not so much. ***Warning!!!! TMI ZONE Warning!!!!!*** But that was the only thing that really grew back in. I no longer have to shave my legs or under my arms but maybe once a season, and that is only just incase there is a straggler. And as for the "rug", alas she is gone too. Thankfully, DH is not one that finds that a bad thing--it is not a personal choice, it simply is how it is now. I did regrow eye brows and lashes again. However, my ENT said there is not normal Hair growth in my nose anymore. And the hair on my arms is almost non existant.... Wierd, makes me wonder what other parts of my body this all messed up!!!! Sorry.....but greens comment hit home!!! Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
