Hi there - I’m 29 and was diagnosed 2 months ago with TNBC. I have 24 weeks of treatment - 12x weekly paclitaxel and carbo and then 12 weeks of 3 weekly EC. I’ll then have surgery and radio. I’m currently 5 sessions into the pacli, already had 2 delays though due to liver function tests and temp spikes which I found really scary at the time - I wasn’t expecting to have to contend with delays too!
I’m cold capping and I’d love to speak to people about how they found it, as I mentioned I’m now 7 weeks into treatment and my hair is definitely shedding but I’d like to know if others found this happened too even if the cold cap was still successful.
I also wanted to add that I live with my boyfriend and he’s been finding this so hard with having to work like normal and have people in and out of the house all the time, I wondered if anyone has similar experiences with their partner and can offer any advice. A lot of what I’ve seen online is aimed at people a fair bit older - one of the leaflets suggested he consider early retirement!!
Happy to chat to anyone!
