My hair has been really thin since my first chemo sessions back in 2001, but this time, it just got a bit thinner... then the Herceptin... hair is DRY, FLYAWAY, and VERY THIN.

I don't know if its just the amount of stresses we deal with, or what ... but Hercpetin definately affects the nails and skin... so why wouldn't it affect the hair?

Maybe it is more to do with Calcium and/or magnesium? I don't know... but its working... so hair or no hair... nails or no nails.... I am pretty happy with it.

Has anyone ever tried Olive Oil on their scalp? Just wondering if the old-time remedies work.
