Hi Denise,

I have read that herceptin can cause some hair loss, and did question my onc nurse who agreed. The hair growth you got after chemo might have been true hair growth, seems my eyelashes and eyebrows grew in heavy as well as very dark facial hair along the sides of my face non of which I had before. The eyebrows with time have thinned considerably, the facial hair I Naired off and has not grow back in. My hair is growing back but slow and now have a receeding hair line! But the one consolation...no hair under my arms and only slightly on my legs.
