Not a silly question at all! Being bald is no fun. I am 55 started chemo last March. Lost my hair 2 wks later. My tx is similar to you'rs only taking Tykerb instead of herceptin. Will finish in May. Lucky for me my beautician had me use Nioxin. It's shampoo,a cream and a liquid you rub into scalp. My hair was kind of thin before chemo. Finished IV chemo last August my hair is about 2 inches long and very thick now. Apparently several articles in cancer magazines about Nioxin. I've recommend to several people I know who have been thrilled with it. Can get it at beauty shop or I goggled it buying it on line now best price I found was at american beauty supply .com Best Cec!
