Eyelashes regrowth?

I had chemo May to September last year for breast cancer. I lost most of my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. My hair is growing back very thick and curly, and my eyebrows are a bit thinner than they were, but look relatively normal. My eyelashes were beautifully long by Christmas, but then they all fell out again. I know eyelashes do that. They only last about 8-12 weeks, then fall out to be replaced by new ones anyway, and normally it doesn't notice because they are all at different stages. When you start from nothing, I suppose the timing is that they will all drop at pretty much the same time.

But now it's almost a year after I finished chemo and they're still dropping at the same time. I have a few long lashes that look all spidery, and the rest are noticeably shorter. I was really hoping that they would have evened out by now.

Is this just me, or has anyone else noticed the same?
