My sister had chemo last year (no herceptin - she wasn't HER2+) and her lashes and eyebrows fell out a few weeks after her last chemo. Then they grew back and a couple of months later they were falling out again. Our theory is that since they grew back all at the same time the hair were on the same growth cycle so they started to fall out again all together. Hope that made sense! Eventually things will get back to a normal growth rhythm and they'll be a good mix of them at different stages of the growth process.
