My experience with Herceptin shows slowed hair growth. I finished chemo in Nov. and continued with Herceptin. I was taken off of Herceptin in March, due to a low Muga, for 9 weeks. During that 9 weeks I saw the hair growth to really pick up especially on my legs and underarms. I went back on Herceptin 2 weeks ago and the hair growth on my legs and underarms has really slowed. I have a friend who is about month behind me in treatment with continuous treatment of Herceptin. Her hair on her head is growing alot, but she isn't seeing much hair growth on her legs and underarms. That is my 2 cents worth.
