Has anyone had treatment with folfiri and not lost their hair
Thank you. Was that with taking folfiri as the treatment. I have 20 weeks of treatment at two days of treatment every 14 days. It happens in a couple of weeks and I am really devastated about losing my hair.
Yes, I had the treatment every 2 weeks then had a port so took a bottle home for 2 days. Ask for the cool Cap tomorrow. Also I used aveda serum on my scalp by rubbing it in. But ask the nurse about that to be sure. My eyebrows thinned but used a great serum for that and another one for my eye lashes. Now I think my brows too bushy! Will get the name of the eye brow serum for you
Thankyou. You have been very helpful tome.
Helen. How did you manage the cold cap whilst you were on the treatment at home with the pump?
Helen was the cold cap you had provided by the hospital. My appointment is not until Tuesday so I will not be able to get any answers until then. I am grateful for your information.
Hello Candy, I didn’t need the one at home as I got it in the hospital. But if your ring penguin cold cap in London they are so helpful,
Ok thank you. I guess I will find out the plan when I go to see the Dr. Next Tuesday. I am dreading it.
Hello Candy, you will go through this I know. Also I took peppermint pills if I had an upset tummy but really hadn’t much problems. I’m going through a few bits at the moment and we are all holding o e another’s hands
