Hair Growing after Chemo then stops!

Chrysler

Hi

I finished my chemo 2nd December, 2014. Everything started growing back, hair. eyebrows, lashes etc apart from my nails are still struggling and slowly growing out. BUT, the last couple of weeks I have noticed no under arm hair, lashes & brows have gone thin and tatty!! It seems like its all starting to fall out again - very concerned and worried. Can this happen or am i just thinking it is? HEP!!!

maybe you are hypothyroid

hi

i really dont know. I just looked at the symptoms for hypothyroid and apart from weight gain (actually having a bit of weight loss) i do have the symptoms but not weight gain. I presumed the symptons of this were due to the chemo?

Chrysler, Welcome to BCO. You've picked a good place to get support.

My eyebrows didn't start falling out until well after I finished chemo. The same with my lashes, but I didn't loose too many of them. The hair under my arms has never come back. Hope that helps. Best wishes to you!
