Wow...your symptoms are very interesting..

Hi, Denise and welcome to the board...are you ONLY taking Herceptin???...usually, you lose the eye lashes and eye brows with either taxotere or some taxol chemo used WITH the herceptin. I have just taken herceptin alone for many years and I have the exact opposite problem...dark hair growth everywhere...even on my head..it is longer than ever..can't keep it trimmed and even waxing the legs and underarms doesn't keep it at bay. However..I use a good bit of vitamin D (with A in fish oil) and take the olive leaf..and I have suspected this extra hair growth is a side effect of MY supplements moreso than that of the herceptin. If you want to grow hair...usually Vitamin D will do the trick. For strong nails...you must take PURE magnesium....I know that is counter - intuitive, but it really works...builds bones back too...to learn more..google Calcium -Magnesium homeostasis.

Keep us posted,
Gina
