Does Herceptin slow hair growth?

My hair seems to be taking forever to grow in after finishing my last chemo treatment in December. It did not seem to grow at all until I finished radiation in February. It has been 3 months now and although it has grown back, it still seems unbelievably slow considering my hair used to grow so fast I had to get it cut faster than most people.

Believe me, I am thrilled to have some hair, I am just tired of it looking like GI Jane and I am discouraged that it is still so short after all this time. I noticed that my nails seem to be growing extremely slow as well, so that made me think that maybe the Herceptin is affecting my hair growth as well.

Maybe it is just like watching a pot boil and it seems like it is taking forever because I am anxious to have it back. Any one have any insights?

Thanks!
Natalie
