Re: Chime in please! Has herceptin (or tykerb)affected your eyebrows/lashes,fingers/t

I was on Herceptin alone for 8 months after A/C (2 months) and then T/H (2 months). Hormone negative
I had splitting nails and cracked thumbs near the nail the whole time I was on Herceptin. My eyelashes and eyebrows would all fall out and then grow in again also during that time.
Now that I've been off H for over 2 years I still have very thin eyebrows, tiny eyelashes, split nails and ocassionally split thumbs. Also have a numb tongue (totally strange but doesn't stop me from eating-too bad)
