My last chemo was July 2, my eyelashes fell out about 5 weeks later. Unless I'm going crazy...they are falling out again???!!!!

Good grief!!!!

Sounds like the "double" fallout is normal. Mine came back quickly following chemo, but just this past couple of months they have thinned out again. Maybe it is "jet lag"...but they are starting to regrow again. Hope this doesn't happen over and over again. I tried the false eyelashes, and I looked like the proverbial hooker. Come on, eyelashes, grow!

Hugs,

Judy

OMG.... lol don't tell me that!!!!!! I lost mine while I was on chemo and they are slowly just starting to come back now... it been 11 weeks since end of chemo...

I am sick of wearing falses... Ladies don't be afraid of the fake eye lashes.. with some practice they look very realistic .. you just can't go with long ones (when buying them go with a natural length set) and you have to wear eye liner and eye make-up to blend them in... but go for it... :-)

A false boop, fake hair and false eyelashes, I know I'd be major paranoid about what was falling off! I got brave today and wore a hat to chemo. It was major windy here and I was afraid I might've had to chase down the street after my hair!

Great, mine are gone to. To think that they will grow back just to fall out again.
