To anyone who is frustrated at how slowly their hair is regrowing. My hair grew back incredibly slowly after chemo finished & someone suggested the herceptin might be the cause,but no one really knew. I finished herceptin 6 months ago & I’m just popping back to confirm that my hair started growing really fast 4-5 months after herceptin finished. In fact if my roots between hair dyeing are anything to go by, maybe even slightly faster than before treatment (phew!) … must be all those green smoothies. x
That is good to know! I am halfway through herceptin and finished chemo in November - I have only managed to get an inch on top so far and am so impatient!
I am a bit behind you Leanne, finished chemo in December and not quite at the halfway point with Herceptin (will have 8/18 on Monday).
I have about an inch of hair as well. It started growing back while on Docetaxel and was slow at first, but since January it has been growing more quickly. I don’t think Herceptin is slowing it down (time will tell) as it seems to be growing at a normal rate now.
