'hey eyebrows, guess what? chemo's over.'

today i am mourning the complete and sudden loss of my eyebrows. apparently they didn't receive this important message yet. the sparse brows i had left literally wiped off my face yesterday on my bath towel. bummer. i actually took this a lot harder than i did parting with my head hair... perhaps due to the shock of it all or the delayed timing (i thought we were done with the hair loss bit), but most likely because i look a lot scarier without eyebrows than i do without hair. oh well. another day, another chemo casualty. it really is the gift that keeps on giving. while i am a proponent of shading in light brows, i'm not the type to draw on an eyebrow where one doesn't exist. so, this post is mostly a warning to you, my friends and family, that i will look a little creepy for awhile. but this, too, shall pass... right? i sure hope so.

That is a major bummer, Julie. I think they grow back. So many survivors have eyebrows on TV. I think you need a consult from another woman about what looks best.
