Hi! I wanted to ask if anyone has light hair on their cheeks after chemotherapy and surgery. And what to do. I'm worried.
Oh! Maybe not then! Strange, I’m not sure in that case, usually when I get facial hair it’s around the same time as I’ve had the steroids, I’d suggest talking to the breast care nurses then? X

Seems like a temporary thing, going by what people said on this thread, and more than one person mentioned a certain type of chemo. I hope that some of the information in there might be of help.
