Mine fell out post chemo too. I think this is pretty common. But the good news is that they grow back fast. About 3 weeks for mine.So don't despair...just wear lots of eyeliner
for awhile.

Lot's of eyeliner. Mine fell out after chemo as well. They are just coming in now and I have been done with chemo since late November.0 -

My lashes came out every 4 monthes, but less and less. I have been done with Taxol for a year and half and my top lashes on the inside just came out again. Good luck. JJ0 -
Me too
Yes my eyes are itchy and the lashes are still coming out 3 months post Chemo. I just figured the ones that didn't fall out during chemo are letting loose now making room for the new ones! That's good news about the hair! Before ya know it you'll be back to your hairy old self again. :-)

same here
My chemo doctor told me at our last meeting that things would get worse before they got better! I didn't know he meant my eye lashes and eye brows were going to fall out!! I had been so proud because I didn't loose them! Ha, Ha on me! They are now starting to grow back, but it is a slow process! Good luck to you!0 -
Eyelashes
So I am not alone on this one.Its been three months since Chemo and I was putting my mascara on and I had very few eyelashes left.I read that we have 3 layers of eyelashes.It is like all the outer ones came out.So I had thick little stubs for lashes.it was very strange. Pat.0 -
I'm in the same boat. I
I'm in the same boat. I finished chemo on 10/15 and didn't lose eyelashes and eyebrows until 2 months later. I never lost all my eyebrows....I looked like I had a 5 o'clock shadow. I did lose most of my eyelashes. They are both growing back in and my eyebrows are already in. My eyelashes are coming back but are little stubby lashes right now. I didn't know we had 3 layers of lashes, that's interesting. My hair is probably 3/4 - 1 inch long. I'm asked my onco when I saw her last week if I could color my hair and she said "yes". So, I'm going to see my hairdresser and ask her for her opinion on a good timeframe for this. FYI, my hair grew back in straight just like it always was. Laurissa, you will have hair again, just give it some time.0
