Eyelashes falling out twice after chemo

Yep, almost 4 weeks after chemo to the day.  They were hanging in there the whole way through.   I had been out to the races and wore lots of eye makeup.  I used eye makeup remover that night and it took them all out!  They thinned out again about 2 months after that.  They've stayed put since then.

I mourned my last eyelash until I realised what had caused it to drop - a tiny row of new eyelashes growing in. Neuropathy however can continue to get worse for a while after chemo treatment stops. Hope it starts improving soon.

Thanks primek- I'm glad to hear they will make a comeback! Guess I can't expect everything to go back to normal straight away considering the treatments they give us.

@Fionap2017 I lost the last  of my eyelashes about 4 weeks after last chemo. They will suffendly appear again in a few weeks. Tiny at first.

I've been wondering what is going on with mine. I finished chemo 4 weeks ago and I lost most of my eyebrows and lashes during treatment but now the few I had left are falling out. I guess I thought they'd be growing back by now, not still falling out. The neuropathy in my feet is worse now too. Crazy how these side effects happen.

Mine did that too. Its such a shame as the first round of regrowth was very thick. It does settle down in time.

Eyelashes have an approx  100 day cycle so as they grew in together  they fall out together. I remember freaking out losing heaps at once too. But they didn't all come out and soon thickened up again. 

Hi @Glemmis, thanks for the info! I guess I have to be patient. 

Hi @Sandy08, I finished chemo 12 months ago, 4 rounds AC & 12 rounds Taxol. My eyelashes have fallen out 4 times with the last 2 months ago. They seem to be staying put now. Everyone is different but I have heard of it happening to others so try & be patient!

@kmakm, I had taxol and Carbo for 12 weeks. Carbo every three weeks.
