Hair growth after herceptin
Can anyone tell me there experience with hair growth after chemo and still on herceptin and femara. I finished chemo March 17, 2011 and started on femara 3 weeks later and I am still on herceptin. My hair has started to grow back in but I have heard that both the femara and herceptin can slow down the process or even prevent it.I would appreciate any feed back on this. Although a minor issue compared to treatment but would like to hear. Also how about a watery eye issue? I was told it would go away after I was done with taxotere but although tolerable but very annoying, it has not stopped.Hope everyone is doing well. Blessings, Darlene
