hi everyone,
finished my chemo, but instead of side effects I now have after-effects - but thats a different post.
When do your eyelashes and eyebrows grow back?? they were the last to fall out and chemo stopped 6 weeks ago. I have new hair, dark and grey growing on my head and some on my legs,
but I am tired of seeing my eyes naked of eyelashes, how long will i be waiting?
cheers

Hi Bardoe,
I had my last chemo on the 5th of May and lost my eyebrows and eyelashes 7 weeks later! I didn't expect that! Anyway, they do grow back slowly, and mine are back to prechemo state now :)
take care,

Hi Bardoe
I like you had after effects! I was well into my radiotherapy when I saw I had lost most of each eyebrow and chunks of my eyelashes, even though my other hair was growing back in. Apparently it's something to do with slow growth cycle and plucking for the eyebrows - I think the doctor was a bit baffled actually! But they're all growing back...... very slowly, eyelashes first.
