My eyebrows are still really, really thin and its over two years since my diagnosis.  Did anyone have the same experience and did they ever thicken up again?

    HI,

    My thick eyebrows thinned after chemo very much and remained the same...

    Greetings

    I'm only 9 months out, but sincerely doubt at this point I'll be seeing the eyebrows I once had.  Which is pretty sad for me, my eyebrows were one of my best features.  I have to paint them in every day in order to look healthy.

    Believe me, I'm the same.  There was once a day when I curses my thick eyebrows.  Be careful what you wish for!  I so wish I had them back now....I also look sick without them.

    My last chemo was two and a half years ago and I never regained the former thickness of my eyebrows or lashes.  My hair, however, is twice as thick as it was and grows twice as fast!

    Forgot to mention:  doctors say that it can take up to two years to balance out the damage to hair post-chemo, so I think for a while at least it's good to keep the faith!

    My hair is thick too.  Just my eyebrows that are still very thin. 

     2.5 years...I'll keep my fingers crossed so.  Laughing
