I didn’t really lose them during chemo so thought I got lucky, I guess not.
Mine did the same. Keep my eyelashes all throughout chemo, started losing them right at the end. My eyebrows were never affected somehow. Lashes grew back pretty quickly, though thinner than before. Head hair was super slow, but came back really thick and curly in the back. Wavy in the front, and sides and top my regular straight pre chemo hair. So, like 3 different textures on one head. It's totally ridiculous but I guess it beats bald, lol

- Body Recalibration: Hair loss can occur as the body adjusts and Show Full Answer
I thought I was lucky and mine wasn't going to fall out either because my strongest chemo infusions are done. I'm getting maintenance infusions now. But mine just now started falling out too.
