I have a question, it can be to anyone. After Chemo can you start to grow your hair back even if still on maintenance medication? I guess what I'm asking is do the preventive medicine like herceptain, and other medications keep your hair from growing back as well?
My hair actually started growing back before I stopped my Chemo treatments. I continue on Herceptin and Pertuzamab and my hair is doing great. It has grown about 4+ inches in the last year. I take Biotin to help with growth.
Hang in there! Sounds like you are doing great! I have been on Herceptin and Perjeta for almost 3 years (Taxotere was in the mix for the first 7 months). I deal with some joint stiffness and fatigue, but like you I work from home so I can take short naps if needed. We just keep on keeping on!
I finished chemo on March 9th...hair is starting to come in and I am on Herceptin to complete a year of the drug until November...it will grow on Herceptin!
I'm on herceptin only and my hair is growing
Thank you TC123! Yes, working from home is a blessing. Stay well!
