I finished up chemo on April 6th and my hair is only about 3/4 inch long. I continued to wear hats for a good 2 months following my last chemo, and probably would have gone longer if it wasn't summer here! I don't think it is the herceptin, I have a friend here at work who ended chemo about a month before I did, and no herceptin, and her hair is only ever so slightly longer than mine.

Be patient, it takes a while! My eyelashes & eyebrows are now good, thankfully!

Hang in there, it *will* happen!
