slapped a dye on me 'ead

Would love to say on hair but to be truthful only got a bit of luminous white fluff. Anyway it looked a bit better. Not covered the grey though so it’s a nice and easy next week!! Permanent. This one was only semi-permanent. I am also the proud owner of 5 eyelashes on left eye and about three on t’other. 11 weeks after last taxotere. IT’S TAKING BL…DY AGES!!! Love to all Eileen

wooohoooo yay go you. Im now sporting a tin tin type hairdo and the quiff bit at the front is seriously going to be got by clippers f it doesnt sort itself out lol.

I can totally sympathise with you! I finished taxotere around the same time and it’s taking so long to get my hair, eyelashes and eyebrows back. However… the hair is growing to high heaven on my legs… typical.

Hi Eileen

Glad you are keeping us up to date on the eyelash front! I was wondering how you were getting on. I managed to keep a few on the upper lid of each eye, but no regrowth yet! (almost 4 weeks post Taxotere) How long until they are noticable? My hair is growing back reasonably well but like you is very grey! It wasn’t before - I’m only 41. I have been wondering when to dye it.

Take care and I hope all your aches and pains have subsided now

Hello Eileen

What sort of dye did you use? I’ve bought one to put on my white fluff but haven’t had the nerve yet . I keep looking at it in the bathroom and thinking - maybe tomorrow.

Take care

Mines doesn’t seem to want to grow at the temples and I’ve got a bald patch at the back. I want to go on holiday the first week in October and I’d like to think I’ll have enough hair to be able to uncover my head, but it’s taking it’s time and I’m fed up!

Anthi I used a herbal semi permanent one from boots. I used a third of the developer and a third of the tube then paste it on. You can then keep the rest for the next couple of applications. Silly to waste a full one. Cherub I hope you have enough to go uncovered. Nicky thanks for your concern over my eyelashes, Buttons I am envious of your quiff!! Plinkplonk Yes I too have a pair of hairy legs.Love to all Eileen

thanks Eileen

I think I’ll be brave today and try mine too.

Take care
Love Anthi

Hi Eileen thanks for update.My last tax was 10th May Ihave little black dots where eyelashes were no brows lots of white fluff on head esp on right side but…patch of brown fluff on back of head.Nothing on legs[or elsewhere].Keep us posted lol horacexxx

Hi eileen and all!

I’ve just started CMF after having 4 epi. I’ve been assured my hair should now start growing back any day now, woohooo! Trouble is, the hairs on my legs suddenly seem to have reappeared from absolutely nowhere but the hair on my head seems to a bit less happy to make an appearance.

Oh how I long for the day to come when I can join you all and colour my hair. I’ve just turned 35 and have more or less convinced myself that my previously dark brown hair will either grow back grey or white!! My eyebrows and eyelashes have continued to hang on in there so I’m gonna look a bit odd if my hair grows back a different colour!!

Happy colouring ladies!
