sod’s law
sod’s law Just looking at myself in the bath. Bald head with a bit of wispy grey hair, chicken little eyes, and that horrid bare empty look that goes with no eyebrow. Looked down and the only bloody hair I have left is that pubic hair that crawls down the top of me leg. You know the hair that we always stress about when going on holiday or the baths. You couldn’t make it up.!! Can’t bring myself to get rid of it. Need the memories. lol Love to all Eileen
LOL did make me chuckle Eileen…bet you never thought you’d want to hang on to it !!!

PMSL Eileen, you have given me the giggles! Anyway you still have the hair you made the fringes out of!
It will be my turn to be virtually hairless soon… am starting chemo on Monday. And I already feel like a blimmin Alien with only one breast!

This one made me laugh out loud. Brilliant post Eileen.
You are so right about sod’s law. I noticed earlier that the hair coming back on my face is not the much needed eyebrows - oh no - what’s on its way back is the nose hair and I’ve also got a little beard growing - wonderful.
Take care everyone
Love Anthi
Hi Eileen
As per usual you make us laugh and cheer us up no end. I know what you mean about the bikini line though, me too. I have a theory. I have spent years trying to get rid of mine with wax, cream and shaving. I think I’ve toughened up the folicles!
So maybe we should let people know these facts so they can shave etc their head hair for yrs then let it grow and if they need chemo all should be well! What do we think?

Any news is absolutely good news when you are in our situation.
My positive take from this is that my chin hair has given up the ghost so I can put the tweezers away for a few months
Love to everyone going through this with me

Eileen I know what you mean - ive only now got fuzz on my head and my leg hairs are growing fast.
You made me smile when I read your post.
Its nice to know we can still laugh - even if we have no eyebrows to lift

you star Just when I was feeling really miserable along comes your post and I’m sniggering away!Today’s treat is swollen ankles for me.I also keep getting a sensation as if my ribs are being squashed, ring any bells? Rads is fine but after 3 wks I cant throw off the weakness left by taxotere.Thanks for giggle lolhorace
You do make me chuckle! Oh Eileen,
you do make me chuckle and your most recent posting has cheered me up no end! I had my 2nd epi on weds and my hair has now started coming out BIG TIME! I was beginning to feel really sorry for myself and then you came along and brightened up my day.
Thank you so much,
Kelly

Hi Eileen
Know just what you mean about the bald head, wispy hair look - my kids have compared me to Frodo from Star Wars. Same with the chicken eyes - just a couple of lashes left and bits of broken off eyebrows. What’s with this bikini line thing? Daren’t let OH see me naked - look like a freak! Also, no hairgrowth anywhere yet (just started Taxotere so probably wont have any for ages) apart from black hairs on my big toes!!! Weird or what?
Take care

Hi Eileen
had to laugh so much when I read your message.
I finnished my chiemo last summer and have very thin curls with bald patches on my head - and still have no eyebrows!!
But the only bodyhair that I have is in the bikini line - I thought someone was playing a sick joke on me but apparently I’m not alone.

Hi Eileen
Just been informed by my son that I got the Star War’s character wrong. I’ve been told I look like Gollom not Frodo!!! Don’t follow Star War’s so don’t know if that’s better or worse - suspect the latter knowing my lot!
Love Jibby X
Wrong Film! You certainly have got your characters mixed up Jibby - I can see you haven’t been as idle as me! It’s Lord of the Rings, not Star Wars! But I know the look you mean, cos I’ve got it as well, but just had my last taxotere yesterday, so hoping for better things in the future!
What a muddle! As you can see Silkie I’m no film buff - never watched any of these films. The kids showed me a picture of Gollom yesterday and, probably because I’m high on steroids at the moment, I found the whole thing hilarious. Best laugh for ages!
You must be so glad you’ve finished your Taxotere. It sounds horrible and I’m dreading what’s to come.
Take care
