Mine took forever to "get going" after chemo and on herceptin only - for about 6-8 months it grew VERY slowly. I swear I thought it was permanently stuck at about 1-2 inches. Just as I decided I liked the "spiky" look, it took off and now I have unruly hair. So, after a year I can do a funky pony tail and am actually thinking I need to cut it and go back to the spiky look - never satisfied.

So, I don't know if its the Herceptin or not, but your hair WILL grow back and probably better than ever! Hang in there.
