I hadn't even thought about my eyebrows or eyelashes falling out.
I was considering whether or not I should get a wig for when teaching at school but having read some of the comments on the Drag Queen/Primary School thread, I won't be sticking on eyelashes or painting on eyebrows anytime soon!

Go full breaking bad and just shave it off

Bald I can handle but with no eyebrows or eyelashes I'll look like fucking Zippy from Rainbow!

I always thought it was just your hair you lost during treatment, I wasn’t aware that it causes your eyebrows and eyelashes to fall out. Learn something new everyday.

When my gran went through cancer treatment, she got a wig. I walked into her house one day and genuinely thought she had just been to the hairdressers, looked like her hair but it had just been just been cut. Genuinely couldn’t tell it was a wig she was wearing.

My colleague had one a couple of years ago when she was getting treatment for breast cancer. Similarly, you couldn't tell and she looked pretty hot with the style she had in my opinion.....

All body hair can fall out. Even pubes!

I hadn't even considered this to be honest. Sounds like these "brave the shave" warriors need to raise their game!

With radiotherapy, it's sometimes permanent. I've got a bald spot about 2cm round at the nape of my neck which is fortunately not too obvious. If I don't shave, though, I'll only grow stubble on the left side of my face, leaving me looking like some kind of comicbook villain! Moustache goes all the way across, funnily enough.

In some areas of the body it might never grow back. I was really looking forward to never shaving my legs again but it was not to be. 

I dislike "brave the shave" folk. Half the time they don't even shave it all off. Opting for a number 1. Arseholes.

Agree with what constitutes "brave". Even going down to the wood gives them, at worst, a couple of weeks gentle leg-pulling, and a lovely wee virtue badge they can drop into conversation in future.

In fact, a lot of these modern "challenges" get right on my nerves. "look at me, I'm not drinking/shaving for a month that can be amusingly twisted to emphasise my sacrifice!" -  knobs.

I hate all of those so-called fund-raising stunts. "Oh, I'll give a couple of quid to charity but only if you spend the morning sitting in a bath of baked beans on the concourse at Waverley Station first." Just hand over the money, you tight-fisted c***s!

MORE BEANS. MORE BEANS!

Mother in law's TV did that, cheap pish TV that had two ariel spots, one for saorview and one for the satellite to pick up Freeview. All the Freeview channels came in alphabetically and the different regional channels too.
Chances are that's a cheapie brand with same input method.

One consolation then if I ever have to go through chemo is that I can entertain people by doing an impression of the last turkey on the plate..

Spoiler

An old Spike Milligan joke that one

I found it quite therapeutic pulling it out! The shower got rid of the rest of it for me. I then enjoyed the fact it took 2 minutes to shower and I didn't have to dry my hair. I was more worried about eyebrows/eyelashes. 

I go on chemo next week, hardly any hair left so it's not a worry, I'll be pissed off if it ruins my withering arch glance though, Roger Moore style.
