Re: Hair Falling out-have been off Herceptin for 8 months

My hair grew in thick and curly. I always had thick, course straight hair. Now 7 years out from chemo it is very baby fine and falling out. I had my thyroid B/W done and it is fine so my next visit will be to a dermatologist. I hope you figure out what is going on with your hair. Mary L
