Eyebrows

Hi,

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last April and had chemo, surgeries and just finished radiotherapy 2 wks ago. I'm loving my life going back to "normal" and am also very excited about my hair growing back in, it's coming in well :) My brows and lashes started coming back in lovely and thick but I've noticed that my brows are falling out again now, a lot! I know this isn't important in the grand scheme of things but I was wondering if anyone has any clue why it's happening or what I can maybe do to help them stay there! I'm on Tamoxifen and wonder if that may be causing it also.

Thanks :) 

  • Hello Laurenren and thanks for posting, 

    I can't be sure what is causing your eyebrow hair fall out again. Tamoxifen can cause hair thinning but if this is the cause I wouldn't expect all your eyebrow hair to fall out, just for them to thin a bit.  I don't know of a remedy I'm afraid - I think you may just have to see how it goes. Do mention this to your breast care nurse or specialist to get their take on what might be the cause, things like this matter and it is ok to get their input.

    Wishing you the best,
