13 Treatment Tips From People With Myeloma Read Article...

My hair was thinning anyway but during the stem cell transplant process they gave me a serious dose dose of chemo that they warned me could cause hair loss. But since you brought up eyebrows…I am missing about 1/2 inch of the left end of my left eyebrow….could it be a permanent result of chemo? I don’t know…maybe?

No issue with eyebrows. You could sometimes make a hair piece from them lol. During the time I was really sick, lasted almost 2 years from diagnosis and treatment beginnings. I didn’t get my haircut for over a year was so thin. Never lost it all and has since grown back tho thinner than pre mm

Dixie,
I have SMM so no treatment yet. I have lost so much hair in my eyebrows, I have to draw them in. They also don't go the same way/flat (of what's left). They go backwards and all over! Kind of like old men's do.

I lost some of my lashes and brows, but they’ve since grown back longer & thicker. SCT was 8/22.

My wife noticed last night I don’t have long eyelashes like I did before. The ASCT did it.
