I did 12 weeks of Paclitaxel with a cold cap and kept most of my hair, apart from a couple of bald patches above my ears. I lost most of my lashes and had very dry eyes so needed carbomer eye gel, eyebrows thinned in the middle but totally lost the tail. Since finishing chemo I have used Clinique eye lash serum and recently Aldi had a Lacura one very similar to the Revitalash. Lashes are looking good.
www.lookgoodfeelbetter.co.uk is a great charity and the hand and nail care and hair care are both brillinat to attend. You also receive a Goodybag for the hand and nail care. I used strengthener and dark purple nail varnish as well as moisturising my nails with a balm twice a day. My nails were badly rigged nd had a couple of infections (helped by Vicks Vaporub- recommended by LGFB course). 6 months on and they are slowly growing, very soft, have had to keep the, filled really short. I can no longer use strengthener due to allergies, was ok during chemo because of the steroids.
Jasmin from www.cancerhaircare.co.uk runs the hair courses, there is loads of good information on the website and help via phone or email. I was kindly send some eyebrow stencils and false eyelashes for people who have lost their lashes Eyelure C lash. They have extra piece to attach to your eyelid. Give them a call they may send you a free set!
As far as eyebrow tattoo, it would speak to your team and see if you have enough time to do this before your treatment starts as there is a risk of infection and that would, I assume, delay your start. I looked into it and most say you need two sessions and I didn’t have time to do this.
Have you joined the monthly chemo starters group, it’s a greats source of comaraderie.
Take care
