Well the day has finally arrived…..my hair is shedding today….woke up to hair everywhere.
To be fair I have cold capped and got thru 4XEC now coming up to 2/4 paclitaxel.
Im quite upset about it especially as all my grey hairs are showing now, but I’ve dusted myself off,slapped on some makeup, added a bit root concealer and dry shampoo ( I’m terrified to wash it now) and hubby taking me for a drive.Pics upside down
Fingers crossed if you only have 2 paclitaxel left you will still manage to hang on to quite a bit. From the pic it looks like you've got a very normal head of hair. I cold capped all the way through my treatment, probably lost about 40% (yes it was a lot thinner all over but no one really noticed) and had moments of oh no it's all going but it didn't!! I was the same though hated washing or brushing it for the fear of losing more....
