lOSS OF EYELASHES

Hi Gary,
I am on Cytoxan.
I did not lose all my hair on my head, but about 2/3 of it.
I lost all the hair in my airm pits, and most on my legs.
But my eyelashes did thin out, though I did not lose all of them.
I do have a “stupid” eyelash that grows underneath my eyelid,
of which my doctor has to pull out by tweezers every 6 months
or so, as it irritates the eye–just a stupid eyelash they have
a technical name for it, (of course there is a technical name for
EVERYTHING in the medical world).
If I remember right, aren’t you on a chemo-type drug?
If so–that could be what it is right there–losing hair around the
body is one of the side effects.
If not–dunno–but at least you don’t have to use eye-liner anymore…
LOL…
