Just did my makeup in preparation for a dinner out with family, and noticed something for the second time. Have you ever noticed that the first time you see something you don’t love, you try to overlook it– maybe it will go away? I’m pretty sure I do that. I seem to remember thinking before when I put on mascara that there was an area of lashes on my left eye that was getting sparse. I had just been thinking how long my lashes had gotten, that they were better than they ever were pre-chemo. So the right eye is still pretty great, but there’s that area that’s a little thin on the other side. I’m still crossing my fingers that it’s completely normal and I’m just being hyper-sensitive, but I’m a little worried that maybe there’s another round to fall out. Seems unlikely, but the first time they fell out wasn’t until I’d been done with chemo for nearly six weeks, so it’s hard to say. I’m not looking forward to doing the false eyelashes on a daily basis again, but at least I’ve got some practice, and this pair from Sonia Kashuk did the job without being too spendy.
Here’s hoping I’m just overreacting. Stay tuned for further updates as events warrant…
