Re: Eye Twitching...even losing lashes/brows

Yep! Twitchy and watery eyes... UGH! My oncologist said that Taxotere was the culprit. Also, sadly I didn't lose my lashes and brows until almost 4 weeks after I finished Taxotere and Carboplatin. I hated the fakies (lashes) so I just used some dark eyeliner and it worked fine. Crazy though... lashes came back really thick then fell out again...hahahaha. I just laughed - what do ya do?!
