Hair loss after chemo has finished

Hi, I finished chemo 4 weeks ago and have just had a double mastectomy with reconstruction on Tuesday but I seem to still be losing hair especially eyebrows and eyelashes. Has anyone experienced this?

  • Yep chemo is brutal but plenty of rest coming my way over Xmas x
  • Oh definitely, time to rest and recover, chemo is hard enough without surgery after that. Give yourself plenty of time and nurture you. x
  • Thanks Melinda for the information, seems very weird but now I know! Now need to recover from surgery.
  • Hi @sandy08

    Yes very normal, especially eyebrows and eyelashes, I remember losing them a few times before they actually stayed. Very normal, annoying but normal. I think it was by the 3rd time my eyelashes fell out again, they stayed put. So give it some time. xx Melinda
