During chemotherapy, you not only can lose your hair, you can actually lose your eyebrows and eyelashes. This is something that really disturbs a lot of ladies because they feel hair loss is one thing, but when you lose your eyebrows and your eyelashes they feel completely naked. I did have one lady who said, “If I had to choose between my eyelashes and my hair going, I would rather choose my hair to go." I found that extremely unbelievable, that just her little eyelashes were more important than all the hair on her head, but that's how people react in certain cases. So yes, you can lose your eyebrows and eyelashes during chemotherapy.
