Another 'hair' question

My hair was falling out a lot. This was unfortunate since I have baby fine hair to begin with.
Around week 30 it stopped falling out. Now and then I lose one or two hairs.
Believe me, I'm very happy that it stopped falling out, however,I am sooooo curious if anyone else has experienced this.
I'm a lb, female 49, undetected <50 at 7 weeks, 24 weeks. My next pcr is end of March which is my 9th month. I was on Procrit for about 2 months and then taken off when my blood levels normalized.

I have 3 weeks to go on tx and my hair has reduced by at least half. It is also poker straight now and seems to get very oily.
Has anyone out there recovered all their hair post tx and the condition.
Best wishes
Joanna (now known as baldy)

I bought one of those hairy scrunchies at the mall and pull a little hair down around my face after putting whats left of my hair in a high pony tail.  The lady at the drug store told me I look elegant and my buddy at the lab told me I look sexy and " did I finish my tx?" She thought I looked that good. Wow it was nice to get some compliments.  Don't knock a good hairpiece!  Something wierd is going on w/ my eyebrows & lashs too.  I think they are getting straighter and so they look longer.  Take care and good luck to all.  Cindy

But then I would need a good padded bra!
My appetite is the same as yours now but I have to say I do eat good healthy foods. LL

Good idea, I really do NOT want my hair to fall out if I can help it or minimize it. You go, girl, look like a rocker. Better yet, be one!

I keep telling my husband that if I have to be a bald woman, I want to be a skinny bald women; like Demi Moore?

I too am a bit older, but what the heck, it's worth striving for, right? My appetite is NOT what is used to be. Heavy foods make me sick, as do large portions.

This is the milk thistle I ordered (it seems to be really very good but a bit pricey), it is called <A href="http://www.liversupport.com/info1.htm">Maximum Milk Thistle</a>.
