Hi All! I am in my second week of radiation and have noticed that I have lost some of my eyebrows. I did not lose them during chemo, but I am now. Is this delayed chemo or can radiation be doing this? If anyone has experienced this, I would love to hear from you. Thanks! Have a great one!

It is delayed chemo. I lost my eyebrows and eyelashes in my "free month" when I had finished chemo but not yet started radiation. I am now in my 5th week of radiation and my eyebrows are almost totally back and I started using Latisse 4 weeks ago and my eyelashes are almost totally normal. (They are actually thicker than they used to be but are still growing out to te right length.)

@DebbieWard- oh I feel your pain. I too thought that once chemo finished (almost 4 months ago) that the hair loss part was over and done with. Then a month after chemo ended, the eyebrows started to go. In the last months, I have noticed that my eyebrows are starting to grow back, but I barely have eyelashes. Sheesh! Can't a girl get a break?

I thought at this point I had lost everything I could lose - boobs, appetite, stamina, hair, feeling in my fingers and feet! But 6 weeks post chemo, I was not expecting this! I am ready to get things back so I can find my new normal! Thanks, Ladies!

Probably be delayed chemo. My brows and lashes thinned during chemo but now they are all but gone and last chemo was 7/21/14. Strange how it took only two weeks into chemo to lose the hair on my head and about two weeks post last chemo to lose brows and lashes.
