Hi I'm in getting chemo just now I've got an hr to decide if I want the cold cap again I really can't face it if I don't need to do it.
This is my 4th chemo I've used the cold cap with the 1st 3 but this time my chemo drugs are changing to herceptin which she said isn't as bad for hair loss & most people's hair starts growing back now.
Has anyone else stopped cold cap half way through & kept the rest of your hair?
Hi
I'm sorry that no one from the group was able to pop on and tell you about their experience with using a cold cap, or not, before you had your chemo a couple of days ago. What did you decide to do?
Replying to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list, where it'll be more easily seen, so hopefully you'll get some replies.
If you haven't already done this, if you type 'cold cap' into the search bar at the top of the screen it'll take you to any previous posts which mention this and you could have a read through some of those and reply to any of the more recent posters if you think they can help you further or you want to ask them any questions.
Wishing you all the best
