Eyelashes Never Grew Back After Chemo

Hello, my heart goes out to you. Been there done that. And depending on your type of chemo is what is going to be the cause of you losing/not losing your hair. I lost ALL my hair. ANYWHERE there was hair, I lost it. from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I actually enjoyed not having hair on my head, sometimes I forgot to put my wig on when leaving my house and only remembered it after seeing the reaction(s) of someone I crossed paths with. I actually started doing little things to make people laugh around me. My problem was/is that my eyebrows and eyelashes never really did come back. I pencil/powder in my brows and put quadruple layers of mascara on my lashes. None of it really matters because I AM ALIVE!!! I pray God's best blessings over you!

I know exactly what you mean when you say you lost ALL your hair! I have three long, dark hairs that grow out of my big toe; those were gone with chemo--and of course, those have come back, and my eyelashes didn't! My eyelashes actually seem to sloooooowly be getting longer. I'm still no Elizabeth Taylor 🙂
