How long does it take for your hair to grow back after chemo ?
I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma but I am finish with Chemo. It has been 2 weeks. I have little fuzzies, but i will like to know how long does it take for me to have a full set of hair and my eyebrows/eyelashes back?

I finished my chemo (for breast cancer) June 14th this year. About mid-July I noticed some very faint fuzzies; more I could feel them than see them. About mid-August, I could definitely see and feel fuzzies. Now at the end of the month, my hair is not much longer (about a 1/2 inch, which I can grab) but definitely fuller! It is definitely filling in. I expect it to be a slow process but I know it’s moving in the right direction and I am happy with that. I am comfortable now going out just as I am! I was lucky I never totally lost my eyebrows/lashes, but they are fair so couldn’t tell anyway.

I went on Chemo (because of Leukemia) when I was younger. It all really depends on how fast your hair naturally grows.
Eyebrows and eyelashes tend to grow very quickly, and definitely a lot quicker than the hair on your head. You will probably have a full set of eyelashes/eyebrows within the next two weeks, but as I said it all depends.
Hope this helped!

You’ll have a good crop of fuzzies for a few weeks, and if your hair grows the average amount of 1/4 inch per month or so, it will be a few months before you have enough to do something with. Mine came back darker and curlier, although the curly part went away and it’s back to straight again. It will be great before you know it!

Eyebrows grow at about the same pace that the hair on your head does.
There are a few things that you can do to help your eyebrows grow faster. :)
Some things to consider are changing your diet, reducing stress and using an eyebrow enhancer.
I added a link in the source box to an article with some useful tips on growing your eyebrows naturally:
