Hair loss question....post chemo

Hair loss question....post chemo

My last chemo was in October.  My hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and everything starting coming back in fine.  I have recently noticed though that my eyelashes and eyebrows are thining back out again...so much so I have to draw my eyebrows back in and dont have much to put mascara on.  Did anyone go thru this?  I'm wondering if its just a cycle or something else?  My hair on my head is still short and I cant really say if it has thinned.

I"m starting to get nervous as I have no idea why this would happen?  Any ideas?  Thanks,  Kimberly

some people the hair follicles grow in weak and so the hair can fall out again.  Right now I"m praying its just my eyelashes and eyebrows and nothing else!!
I know I should be grateful for being in remission....and I am...sorry to whine but it freaked me out!!

that's very interesting information! i hope is switches back for you. i just started getting hair and eyes back and it feels so good. i think it helps your spirit, attitude and self esteem so don't apologize! Losing my hair was so very hard. your remission is great news! take care of you!

I noticed some hair starting to grow after 5th cycle. But this is very soft thin baby sprout.   Is this normal even when chemo is not finished?
