This afternoon, I went for a follow up with Dr. S, my fabulous surgeon. I've not seen him since April. He was anxious to see how I was doing after the radiation. It is really hard to tell what is surgery related versus radiation related. My eye is puffy often when I wake up in the morning. It seems to get better as the day goes on but it does have a mysterious droop. He asked about the numbness which is still present. Then we talked about eyelashes and eyebrows. You might recall I have about 1/2 a brow and I lost about a 1/4" hunk of eyelashes and what is left is very sparse.
He really suggested I try Latisse but I told him I heard it can change the color of my eyes and I just couldn't bear to lose my Grandma Daisy blue eyes. So we are trying Revita Lash. It is a conditioner that you use nightly and it promotes hair growth. He suggested I use it on my lashes and my eyebrows. But there are different formulas for both. I sure hope it works because for both tubes, it was the best part of $300. They said it should last about 3 months but as soon as I stop using it, the hair loss will come back. I'll give it one tube test (hahah) and see what I get from it.
Both Dr. S and his staff kept commenting how great I looked and seemed like I was feeling great. I suppose overall, I do feel pretty good. Good thing I have my camouflage bangs. They are working great. And I read online how to camouflage missing eyelashes. So check...check.
