Even months after she lost her long brown hair to “hard and heavy” chemotherapy treatment, Hayley Brown’s eyelashes remained.
“Right through people, including her older sister, always said how jealous they were of her beautiful big eyelashes,” her father Andrew told Kidspot.
“But then one day she was complaining about something in her eye. The lashes were all coming out one at a time.”

The seven-year-old has been battling cancer since the middle of the year and was initially upset when she was told she'd lose her hair.
As it happened, though, she hardly seemed to notice, Her eyelashes disappeared more slowly, dropping out one-by-one.
On Sunday, Andrew, who founded the Comedy Gallery in North Melbourne, shared a beautiful picture on Facebook of his young daughter's final lash.
"She doesn’t really realise they’re gone, people stopped talking about them. She probably doesn’t even know her eyebrows are practically gone," he said.
Hayley was taken to hospital when one of her eyes began pointing in the wrong direction in June.
A scan revealed a cancerous lump in her nose, which would require eight months of intensive chemotherapy.
