You’d think that “hair is hair”, but I’ve noticed that the hair on my body that has fallen out due to chemo, has reacted differently based on location.

I’ve never had to worry much about shaving my legs, I could go weeks, sometimes months without any major growth.  And the hair was on my calves, virtually nothing on my upper thighs.
Now I have no hair on my legs at all.
I still have hair on the knuckles of my toes, but not much.  I don’t have to shave them at this time – yes, many women shave their toe knuckles!

I’m an adult woman, and since puberty have maintained a somewhat groomed intimate area.  Basically – clean and tidy, adult with hair.
Now I am mostly bare, but not totally.  And I dislike this.  I like my hair.  I will not shave the remainder, I am holding on to whatever semblance of adult female that I have left.

My underarms have always grown fast and required shaving weekly at minimum.
Now I have Nothing – not one single hair.

I have always had a lovely thick head of hair.
and now… well, now I am bald.
But I’m not Totally bald, I am “patchy” bald… so I have to shave so I don’t look like something from Dr. Seuss.

Seems hair is particular about holding on and letting go…
