Hi All. I'm about to have my 5th session of chemo tomorrow (TNBC). I've been having weekly chemo, Wk 1 Immunotherapy, Paclitaxel and Carboplatin followed by 2 wks of Paclitaxel only before starting next cycle. Two and a half weeks in I started losing hair. Hair wash day is definitely the worst but bald patches, mainly at the crown, have appeared. I'm worried that the cold cap isn't going to do enough and I'm still going to need some type of head covering. What does everyone use and where have you bought them from please. I really don't think a bald head is going to suit me and want to be prepared.
