Because I started Herceptin 4 months after my last chemo, I really do feel that Herceptin contributes to slower hair growth. My hair grows so slowly in comparison to before bc and in the time between my last taxol, rads then starting Herceptin. I can tell because of the amount of time I can wait until I absolutely have to do my roots. It used to be every 6-8 weeks. Now its 10 weeks. Also, my lashes do fall out in the middle of the uppers. They are scimpy but then grow long and fall out (but don't grow long uniformly). I believe this is from Herceptin. I will know for sure for myself by the end of the year (last Herceptin Sept29 after 16 months of it).


Others who only did one yr are finishing up and should have more to say.

Kind regards

Becky
