Kadcyla… have you cold capped on this?

I checked on the Paxman calculator and that drug isn’t there. However if they said a 10% risk of hair loss that’s 90 that you could keep which seems very high. I will be on AC-T and Paxman calculator says 35% chance of keeping 50% of hair. 
Don’t let chemo ward talk you out of it. As it’s also really good for regrowth even if you do lose it! I hate hearing stories of hospitals giving info out and not recognizing the impact of hair loss. Go for it and you are lucky you are half way through I am only starting next week!

Thank you so much. Yes, 90% is high for retaining, but 10% to lose is high having gone through lots already. Thanks for the link. I’ll research more x

Hi Dkbythesea 

I didn't cold cap through my Ec and Docetaxel and lost my hair but it started growing back on Docetaxel and kept growing through my 14 rounds of kadcyla. 

If you would like more info on my kadcyla treatment please ask and I will try and answer. 

Good luck with the rest of your treatment

Good luck with your start of treatment next week. Take each day as it comes and rest up. Xx

Thanks so much Carolyn x

I cold capped through docetaxil and Carboplatin and although my hair thinned I didn’t lose it all. I had 14 rounds of Kadcyla without cold cap and hair continued to thicken so no problems. Good luck with your treatment. Xx

Thanks so much xx
