Hi there,
I did not have that problem, but have heard of some people experiencing that with Herceptin. I have also heard of some people losing thier fingernails. I learned during treatment that CVS (don't know if you have one) carries these FANTASTIC eyebrow stencils (it's an actual stencil that you fill in with a special powder) that work wonderfully. My eyebrows never looked so good and no one was able to tell the difference! The pack comes with several designs- classic, glamourous, delicate, etc. and you get to chose. I hope that this helps- just remember that this is only temporary and will get better.
Love, Kelly
