I had TCH also. I believe it was chemo # five my eyebrows & lashes started thinning. I was so disappointed as I didn't expect it since I was almost done with my final one. I barely had enough lashes to put mascara on. It wasn't long after my last chemo (June) that they finally started to come back in.
But for some reason...I just recently noticed they are thinning out AGAIN. I did not expect this now since I am five months out from my last chemo. My eyebrows are almost gone! They look awful...the few hairs I have left there are sticking straight out. The only thing I did differently lately is my last dose of herceptin was a 3 wk dose. I usually do weekly. I didn't think herceptin played a part in this, but I am starting to wonder?
