thank you andrea and Ruth for responding to my question.

I don't know for sure yet about if I have to take that kind of

theraphy.

I see the onconlygist Thursday.

My surgeon and mentioned it to me since I was positive for that.

But I am wondereing if it was because I have been taking harmones

since 1996. As soon as my lump came back positive for breast cancer I

had to of course quit taking them. My ovaries are not funcioning

anymore so if I am not taking harmones maybe that will cause my

receptors not to care the estrogen. That is one of the things I have

to ask the onconlygist I guess....lol ISN'T THIS FUN!!!! not!!!!!

Hi, not everyone looses their eyelashes and eyebrows. I lost all my hair (everywhere) except for my eyebrows and lashes, they just thinned...didn't have to pluck!!!lol. Take care, skkirts wrote: Steph, Are you on the dose dense schedule which is every 2 weeks or the regualar which is every 3 weeks? From what I've read on the G. Komen message board, the dose dense (with Neulasta to kick start the

white blood cell production), accelerates the initial drop out.I'll let you know when the day arrives, you can be sure.Yep, we lose our eyebrows and eyelashes too apparently if you're getting Adriamycin. With some of the drugs, hair may thin and may or may or may not drop out completely but Adriamycin I think always does the deed.I can't imagine learning how to draw on eyebrows since I'm more of a no fuss gal, but that may be on my program this year. Have you heard of the American Society Program that's something like "Looking Good, Feeling Better". I gues the sessions can be really good. There's one offered at my clinic in July, but I'd like to get to one sooner than that.skk __________________________________________________
