Where, oh where, is my hair??

It's been 10 weeks since completing chemo and still very little hair growth Never was completely bald, and it has only grown in enough to slightly cover my head (so short, I can't even measure it). I've been taking a multivitamin, along with Biotin to try to get something more to grow. Is it normal to take this long to get growing?

Worried now about permanent hair loss, which I made the mistake of Googling...
