But I kept my eyebrows. You just never know. And while I had straight thick blond hair before chemo -- it grew back tight-curled and very dark brown. <BR/><BR/>About 2 months into chemo you might initially be shocked to see your reflection in the mirror and wonder who is looking back at you -- but now three years later it is all a vague memory and I learned a great deal about myself in the process.<BR/><BR/>My loved ones kept telling me how beautiful I was -- and I have loved them more dearly and deeply than I thought humanly possible because of it. I didn't feel beautiful and I don't think I looked beautiful but they made me feel beautiful with their love. And something beautiful blossomed inside me that had not been there before. <BR/><BR/>I won't tell you its not going to be rough going but ultimately, everything will be okay and you will get your life back -- and your hair. And your eyebrows.
