Hi Everyone,

Thank you all for your history's with herceptin and our hair growth. After reading all your posts, I guess we can just about expect anything. After we see the light of day (or fuzz should I say) after all the baldness from chemo, it's a shame it has to dim in losing or thinning eyebrows or eyelashes. It's a bit of a downer, just as things are coming back to normal, cancer/chemo lets us know that we are still dealing with it all. I've always had beautiful, long eyelashes, so when they start to fall out again for the second time, it just makes me sad. I try to keep the humor up, but sometimes it just gets to you. As for humor, I had seen one of those chea pet heads and I was going to buy one to see which one of us could grow hair faster, of course, the chea won hands down! Now if only the leg hairs would stop growing, that would be great. Thanks again everyone for your input. Oh, as for looking like a guinea pig...I'm sure you don't!
When my hair was just starting back, I said I felt like a fuzzy kiwi fruit. :-)
