Hi there,

I'm a bit puzzled as to why I'm loosing my eyebrows and eyelashes again :( And I wonder if anyone has experienced something similar.

I finished chemo 6 months ago and I lost most of my hair, but it started growing back very quickly. After chemo, I had surgery and I'm now on Herceptin and Tamoxifen. My eyebrows and eyelashes were finally fully grown and dark as they were, but I started loosing them again, I'm not sure why. They keep falling out, but not completely. I have like little holes in  my eyebrows and my eyelashes are shorter than normal

Has anyone been through the same? Is it the tamoxifen? :( I really wish I could have my eyes back.  

I'm using Revitalash for my eyelashes, but I'm not sure it actually helps. Can someone recommend anything for both eyelashes and eyebrows?

Many thanks for your help!

  • Hi Natzilla welcome to the forum. Im wondering if you have a Boots chemist nearby you at all and that it has a No7 counter? If it does then uou can make a macmillan appointment with the Number7 person and they can guide you re thus. Boots and No7 are in a partnership with Macmillan hence why you can access this advice.
