I still take it, but don't know that it has done much- I am still dealing with some nail issues from chemo!

5 months to the day, post chemo. Starting to curl and still very soft. I had straight, much darker hair prior to chemo.

Lol yeah I actually lost my eyebrows and eyelashes after my last chemo!
My 16 year old daughter got me some grande brow and grande lash to help regrow them. Haven’t seen a difference but it hasn’t been long yet. My Dr told me not to use minoxidil or anything like that on my head…I did start using some castor oil and rosemary oil mixed and rubbed on my scalp. I think I see some growth. Dr said nothing except a woman’s once a day vitamin, no supplements :(

I just took the Biotin (Hair, Nails, Skin) supplements. I was doing Herceptin after chemo which can cause hair to thin, My hair came back, just not as thick, eyebrows and lashes were basically no shows! I have to fill in the brows, and eyeliner helps. I am not sure I could handle fake lashes as I am allergic to adhesives and metal. Not worth the risk- I've been married to the same guy for 43 years, so no need to bat eyelashes anyway- lol!!
