@cbrl I was on the same chemo every 2 weeks. I do not remember the dose but was dx as Stage 1. so I assume I had a much lower dose than other higher stages. My hair loss started after my 3rd chemo so I got a buzz cut. Never lost lashes or eyebrows. I had 6 chemos then Whipple surgery. Then 6 more chemo after the Whipple. My hair started growing back about a month to 6weeks after my last chemo. I was able to stop wearing my wig and had my first hair cut at 6mos as it was the same length all over and it needed a trim in order to style it. It is a little lighter than it was but the texture took a while to get back to normal I've never used a conditioner prior to chemo but it has been very helpful post chemo. I wish you all the best on this journey. The picture I'm posting is 18mos after my last chemo and only had my bangs trimmed at this point.
