Anyone on TCH not lose their eyebrows and lashes? I've got round 6 tomorrow and other than a bit of thinning, I've still got both. I've heard they fall out later than other hair on the body (I'm pretty much hairless everywhere else), but wondering if maybe I won't lose them completely.
Thanks in advance ladies ๐Ÿ’—

Lost eyelashes and eyebrows (well, those just thinned) a month after finishing chemo. So cruel. But it didn't take long for grow back.

Lost the hair on my head, armpits,legs, lady area after my 3rd round of red devil cocktails. Finished 11 of 12 taxols, and then my eyebrows and eyelashes fell out. Now everything that I lost is growing back in, but everything I had is falling out, even arm hair. Starting to see a tiny bit of growth for my eyelashes, but I'm sporting the alien look now with no eyebrows. I was told to use castor to help speed up the regrowth process... we shall see .

I was allergic to paxlitaxel. It was rough for me. I lost all hair on my body, but yes it did come back quickly. I went right into menopause too! Not complaining there!

I just had my eyebrows micro bladed and had a great experience. The girl that did it used xylocaine with epinephrine . They look pretty close to real.

A few weeks after Taxol I lost my eyelashes several times, they grew back in and fell out again 3or4 times. Finally they stayed in. My eyebrows fell out too, but at 18 months had still not grown back in so I had tattoos done.
