Loss of eyelashes
Hi everyone,
It is about 8 weeks since my last round of chemo, during which I lost most of my body hair with the exception of my eyebrows and eyelashes. Now, 8 weeks on my eyebrows have thinned out...
Hi Jen
The same thing happened to me - I was almost through my radiotherapy when I noticed one eyebrow and my eyelashes had fallen out. I panicked because I thought it wasn't normal, however, was reassured by the radiology staff and my breast care nurse. It has something to do with longer growth cycles. It took a wee while but all grown back now, unfortunately so has the leg hair! Hope you are feeling much better.
