Good bye Eyebrows and Lashes
Hello again my BC sistas ! ... long time no talk.
My last round of chemo was on 8th Dec 2014 .... and about 6 weeks after that (mid January), my eyebrows started thinning to the point of now resembling the brows of a serial-plucker. My eyelashes have also fallen out ... none on the bottom and only very fine stubs on the top - but not enough to hold massacra. Arrrggghhhh !
So, having read through some previous posts, I see that this is not uncommon ie. for us to lose our brows and lashes weeks/months after finishing our chemo.
My question is :- other than eyebrow pencils and eyeliner, can anyone suggest any lotion or potion that might encourage my brows and lashes to grow back faster ?
IIt's worth noting that I made a deal with the "Hair Gods" ... told them they could keep the hair that was once on my head (see photo of my curly mass) since I have found being bald quite liberating - so long as they returned by eye brows and lashes. Will keep you posted on the outcome.
P.S. the hair on my head is growing back steadily, a couple of bald patches but they are filling in quite well.
