Good Morning hope all are doing ok on their journeys.

Due to have an appt on Thursday- I think it is the chemo planning one.

Due to have carboplatin and paclitaxol.

Did anyone opt for cooling caps and is there evidence that they work. Would be interested in anyones experiences.

Hair loss is the most upsetting bit at the moment for me. 

I am interested in trying cool caps but don't want to feel that it is for no point and it will come out anyway. 

If you have used them- whats the actual procedure?

I will obviously ask at my appt but just trying to prepare the best I can

  • Hi Rach thats reassuring as I've heard that some ladies start growing hair before chemotherapy ends and I also notice one brow going sparse and the other one is thicker, I have to sightly pencil one in   xx
