Well I'm not a hairy person. I never had hair on my arms and I didn't have much hair on my legs. My hair grows slow. I've kind of figured I'd be wearing wigs for two years.

I've only been wearing them for 4 months. I pretend like it's no problem, but they do irritate my head. I'm good at faking things. I'll just keep faking that I Love wigs. No biggie. This is all part of the anger I still feel for my body for letting me down catastrophically.

My hair grew back, just as thick (or rather the same volume) as before I lost it. Was on carboplatin+paclitaxil. My hair grows slowly too, but since stopping chemo in mid-March of this year my hair is about 3" long. It would've been longer had I not had two trims. You've got to be patient, especially since hair grows slower the older one gets;)
Also, I've been taking collagen powder every day for the past year. It believe it helps.
