Hi all,
I'm looking to see if anybody has had experience with trying to cold cap with a shaved head whilst doing EC and docetaxel.
Unfortunately after 2 sessions of cold capping my hair just couldn't hold and I decided to get my head shaved during my wig fitting today.
I have been told that I can still cold cap using a thin surgical cap but I know it will be quite tough as I still have one EC (or maybe 2) to go through before reaching docetaxel cycles.
The docetaxel worries me due to the risk of permanent alopecia without cold capping. Spoken to a Daniel Field rep today who says they have seen plenty of women not get hair back after this drug but the nurses at chemo unit and the stylist at the wig fitting had opposite views and said they don't know of any who have struggling with regrowth.
Is there anybody here with experience trying to cold cap with a shaved head on the same drugs??
Any advice gratefully received x
