I have lost my eyelashes due to chemotherapy. They started to grow in & seem to be falling out again. Anybody with experience in lash extentions? Do they damage you own lashes? how do the stars get such long lashes? Can you have them professionally applied. I tried it & was not successful.

Mine have, strange.

I had my last chemo treatment June 18th, 2007. Had my lumpectomy & they also did lymph node dissection July 6th. My black straight hair pretty much came off 3rd week after my first chemo treatment. I had super thick hair down to my butt & I miss it. I now (July) have some noticeable fuzz on my head. It’s not as course or thick as it used to be. The weird part is that my brows & eyelashes didn’t start coming off until just about 2 months ago or so. Does anyone know when it may start growing back? I literally have a few strands of eyelashes left. They used to be fairly thick & long & straight. Is this experience different for every race? I’m asian. I still have to receive radiation treatment soon, not scheduled yet. And still have to receive herceptine I.V. every 3 weeks until sometime early next year. I just got some fake eyelashes & now have to try & use them. I hope I don’t accidentally glue my eyes shut trying to apply that thing on. Then I’d be a blind cancer patient. LOL!!! I sincerely appreciate anyone’s input & good luck to everyone out there who shares the same experience as this. THANK YOU ALL!!!

I lost most of my eyelashes during chemo & I just finished my last cycle of chemo & want to know if my lashes will grow back & if they do will they possibly be thicker or longer?? How long does it take? Do any vitamins help the growing process? I ve heard fish oil pills help with hair growth or quality.
