I can’t make this up! I’ve been having chemo since November weekly, I have lost all my body hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, but just found a dark chin hair staying strong.

WHAT 🤣 AIBU to think what the F 🤣

My body is definitely laughing at me that’s for sure

I wish I had the tenacity of a chin hair

That's what I had come back first too. Solidarity on the chemo, I have 2 'preventative' cycles left and it's literally destroying me.

They should be studied for their resilience. Sorry about the chemo OP, hope you are doing ok Flowers

I cold capped and fortunately kept my hair and indeed my eyebrows. Lost all my body hair. Was so pleased to have kept my lashes and thought I was special until they all fell out a week after chemo finished 😑. Good luck with your treatment OP.

Someone should study chin hairs in menopausal women in order to laugh at the weakness of scalp hair in men.

This week I learned that there have been more medical studies done on male pattern baldness than endometriosis. FFS.

Chemo caused my hair to go curly and my chin sprout a beard!

@TheFormidableMrsC i am cold capping, it’s working wonders.. for now. I’ve got very long very dark thick hair. My eyebrows falling off was a recent development of about 2 weeks ago.

i look very odd with a full head of hair but nowhere else. They’ve just changed my treatment to a diabolical concoction so think it will probably be on its way out soon.

cant believe you got SO far, past the finish line then your body said, nope, you’ve done me dirty im not having it BYE 🤣 you have to laugh at life’s plans don’t you.

Bless you, I’d go and get brows done. I can highly recommend Rapidlash to regrow your lashes. I had enough to put a bit of mascara after two weeks and then they grew so fast I had to stop
using it because they were so long. I really hope
the capping continues to work for you! Will keep
everything crossed. You’re right though, you’ve got to find the humour however rubbish things are!
