Chemo might take your hair, but never allow it to take your smile and the sparkle in your eyes!

Serious question - why didn't it take your eyebrows?

8 years ago | Likes 416 Dislikes 8

Because the fastest replicating cells - mouth mucosa, hair, skin, GI mucosa, and cancer - are affected most by the drug. Brows grow slower.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My eyebrows and lashes were the last to go.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It'll go and so will everything else. My beard was the last thing to go when I had cancer last. Even after my eyelashes.

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

I lost all my hair except my beard. No eyebrows, no eyelashes, no hair anywhere but my face.. and it also turned slightly red

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It doesn't grow nearly as fast as hair is what I would assume. Chemo attacks rapidly reproducing cells, sometimes head hair is included.

8 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 0

This is the correct answer. Source: I work in pharma industry.

My hair fell out really fast, but the eyebrows and lashes didn't go until after my treatment was over

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Because it's falls out but not all at once. So people just shave their heads.

My second chemo round (taxol) will probably take my eyebrows and lashes, we'll see though, I have my fingers crossed!

There's a new cryo-therapy hat that is aimed at retaining hair follicles. You should ask about the trial.

Right? Can you use nasal spray like Drixorol? I use it almost daily. If not, the other amazing feeling is those salt water sprays! Superluck

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Its about growth speed, the eyebrows and such grow slower and as such dont die as easy since they're much more "just hanging out"

8 years ago | Likes 84 Dislikes 0

My eyebrows must grow fast. I always pull the hairs without thinking :/ nervous habit I guess

1. Sweaty ass crack. Turns out, ass hair does a lot for cooling and airflow.

3. Chafing. Your buttcheeks rub the skin off of each other. It's mild, but it's irritating.

2. Farting. It's nigh impossible to sneak a fart when you're hairless. It's like farting in a rubber suit.
