Hi Aine,
Thank you for your post.
Some people do not lose their eye lashes or brows when having chemotherapy. Many people often notice that the hair on their head starts growing while they are on chemotherapy. Your hair regrowth does not impact on the treatment working.
There can be many reasons for your breasts feeling achy or sore while on chemotherapy. It would be a good idea to mention these concerns to your team when you are in on Monday.
If you ever want to speak to a cancer nurse, please contact our support line on 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.
Kind regards,
Cancer Nurse
