hi ladies
is it normal for your hair to grow back after chemo, and then fall out a few months later? Everything was growing back all strong - I had a full set of eyebrows, eyelashes and general hair (ok, the top of my head did look like a cute grey rabbit, but it was still hair!).
Then 4 months post chemo, suddenly my precious eyelashes and eyebrows all fell out again??? WHY? was it something I said??? ???????? is this common?
thank you for your reply in advance ??
What the! Ugh, talk about your "Thanks, body!" moments. *hugs*
I just lost my eyelashes again and half an eyebrow and I finished chemo in February!
Hi Autore,
I can't add anything at all except to say that I love the comment "was it something I said". Hilarious - you put a huge smile on my dial!!! Thank you so much. Wishing you speedy hair growth!! - like the baby chrissy doll of times gone past ;-) Xx Cath
Ohhhhh thank you so much ladies. Will keep you posted. I know this site is off line for a week ... Stay tuned . Sending hugs ??
Ohh! I was so upset when it happened to me and I researched it and spoke to others, found it that it was common. Man!!! thank goodness they did come back and they stayed LOL. Its the little things isnt it??

Oh nooooo! Thank you for posting that heads-up Melinda, it would have come as such a shock! Haha xo
Oh!! Yes I know! I too celebrated with Masara yay!!! and then thought they didnt like it! BUT that's not the case I promise you, they absolutely will be back again before you know it, its the one thing that I was so grateful for.
Sounds like then your hair is the same as before, so again, try to relax knowing its just time, but it will all be coming back. :)
Hugs

Thank Melinda!
i used to have thick eyelashes too, they grew back super thin and then slowly fell out. I wore mascara in celebration when they returned , but obviously they didn't like it :(
Hair on my head is falling out a bit but I used to get that sometimes pre chemo (w stress), so it's hard to tell.
ill just have to be more patient ! Good to know they will grow back
Hi Autore,
Im 8 months post chemo, and YES it is super common for eyelashes and eyebrows to fall out again once theyve grown back in. Mine did that in the first few months and I thought OH NO! But they grew back just as quick no problems and have stayed this time. I had really long eyelashes pre chemo, and theyve grown back exactly the same :) I did not lose my hair on my head though again? did you buzz cut your hair?? Id imagine like your eye lashes maybe your hair is the same. I wouldnt panic, mine has grown back thick and curly. Ive had 2 hair cuts now and color, takes a very long time.
Hope that helps. Hang in there
Melinda xo
