WHEN do the eyelashes and eyebrows start to grow back? I’m 4 weeks clear of chemotherapy and have lost both!
Hair on head growing back very slowly and thinly but just want my face hair back!
any advice would be great x
I had 12 weeks of PC and lost all my hair around the 3 week mark.
i have now changed to EC and had 2 sessions and my eyebrows and eyelashes seem to be growing back. I have 2 left and I am actually worried the chemo isn’t working as feel my hair should be falling out/not growing!
I think everyone is different though
Hi
i finished chemo in December last year. My eyelashes started to grow back about 6 weeks later. Very small but there. They have continued to grow and are a reasonable length now. My eyebrows are a different matter. The hair is very fine and sparse and I am still using an eyebrow brush.
