Hi, I’m new to this group I was diagnosed with TNBC last October had 6 weeks of taxol and carbo chemo then 6 weeks of just taxol. On a break now before 4 sessions of EC. I was well during taxol still managing to go running and cycling but anxious about EC. I understand you feel worse with nausea and tiredness and your hair if effected more. I have cold capped and still have a good covering of hair albeit thinner. I have horrid visions of it all dropping out during EC. Anybody else in or had a similar experience?
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I can't help with your questions but I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses yet. By replying to you it will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussions list where it'll be more easily seen. I'm also 'tagging' this group's Community Champion GRANNY59 into my reply as she may be able to help you further or point you in the right direction.
I noticed that you had posted a question about having EC and using the cold cap in the ask a nurse section of the online community a couple of weeks ago and wondered if you'd seen the reply. If not clicking here will take you straight to it.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
