That's great, Laura! Take that, cancer!
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

That's good news, Laura. Mine is all gone as well, although I am now on the every-6-months derm rotation.
I'm confused by the idea that Rogaine promotes only "baby hairs" -- does that mean the hair doesn't grow out beyond baby hair length? After I had Isaac I had a massive shed, MASSIVE -- I thought I was going hypothyroid again. But then after the big shed I noticed that I had more than the usual amount of baby hairs growing. Stylist confirmed that it was all over my head.
I assume that my hair is thinning as I age, but so far the coarser texture makes up the loss in volume.

Not at all fast enough, but they are making strides in treatment of many cancers that we assumed fatal in the past. Hurry up scientists and make it all gone!
I have massive envy of people with curly hair, as well as those with thick hair. Sigh. Color is my only fun with hair. Maybe I should color it flesh color so the scalp would blend in!

I don't think it works that way, Laura. But I think you are lovely just as you are.

Burrell, that was the impression that I got from my daughter. It encourages new growth, but it's all baby hairs. Whether or not those hang around and get longer/thicker, she didn't really say. But if it continually encourages new growth, then you're always going to have some baby hairs all the time. I guess?

Apparently the diagnosis of Stage 4 is less fraught than it used to be. It's the type of cancer Hubby has that's so worrying, not the stage--though the stage is a serious complication. But he's been responding so well that they've occasionally drawn an extra vial of blood for research purposes. I wonder how much of this is his inherent mutancy, his systems have always been a little odd. I hope no one tries to patent his genes.
re: hair, I'm going to see if I can get my hair just generally healthier, then let the curl do its bit. I tell Hubby that women cut their hair short at my age to de-emphasize the thin spots. He dislikes short hair on women.

SailAweigh, I was just wondering if the problem was that the hairs didn't keep growing. But I get that you and I both lack expertise in this topic.

DH is the same. He says it is old lady hair, but I look at myself and see an old lady with long hair. He also likes it down and I tend to wear it twisted up most of the time, in the summer absolutely all the time. If there was a short style I liked he wouldn't bug me about cutting it, but it is easier to just trim it from time to time anyway. My biggest issue is my crazy schedule and making time to get it cut more than a couple times a year.
