Eyelash growth
Hi everyone I'm happy to see that I am getting little black spikes that I hope will grow back as eyelashes after chemo. Did anyone have any success using eye lash serums or I just need to be patient for them to grow naturally. Cheers

- ZoffielMemberYeah, I'd just let nature take its course with this. I'm thinking the first time you get some coconut oil on your eyeball, you'll agree with me. Watch out for ingrown ones -- yes, it's a 'thing'. Of course it fucking is, the cosmic clowns must keep their end of the deal up..
- LocksleyMemberThankyou everyone. I will try coconut oil. The lash serum was on special at chemist warehouse.
- MazbethMemberHi @Locksley, I can relate to what you are saying, there is nothing like seeing the first eyelash sprouts. I bought a product - at Chemist Warehouse - LāOreal Lash Serum. I used it, but I honestly canāt tell you if it worked, but I felt like I was doing something š„“ I was even putting it on my brows! Who knows if it made a difference or if it was just time. What I do know for sure is, once they start, they come back pretty quickly.
I didnāt know about coconut oil, but I would definitely give that a try - cheap and you can always use it for cooking too š - FLCloverMemberHi @Locksley, Iām glad your eyelashes are starting to return. As itās been said, theyāll prob grow back pretty quickly, but I have read quite a bit that coconut oil helps them grow back more quickly and thicker. Itās natural and doesnāt hurt to try
- AbbydogMemberI really missed my eyelashes. For me they were the last hairs to fall out, late in the Paclitaxel Chemo.
But they did seem to grow back quite quickly once they started to grow. I think that by approx 2 months( after Chemo) I had a reasonable length. I would just be patient, they are on their way! It's a nice feeling, having bits of us returning to normal.
