Re: Eyelashes anyone......
Sandra,
I lost most of my brows and all of my lashes when I began taxol. My brows and lashes are back, not as thick as they once were, nor as long, but there. I lost my eyelashes a second time, or very nearly lost them all, a few months after chemo while only on Herceptin. I just switched from Tamoxifen to Femara and I see lashes dropping again!
Had to laugh about your new hair. I had course, thick, wavy hair prior to chemo. Now I have this straight, soft hair that I have no idea what to do with!!!!! Of course, hair of any sort is better than my wig!
The hair on my head came back in about 4 months. The lash thing is a drag, but not the end of the world, although I would like to see my old lashes again. I had some fine lashes! Ummm Hmmm, yes, I did have some luscious lashes!
