Hi Well done to all of you, and take your time and care of yourselves. Not sure if you have cnsidered COld Cap, it worked for me, its uncomfortable for the first 10 minutes but although i only lost 50% of my hair it grew back much thicker, curly and much better condition.
I was advised to note what my normal hair shedding was, so didn’t panic when to me it felt like i was losing alot. I blame myself for brushing my hair too much, which you are advised not to, and please don’t be tempted to wash using hot water, or the hair dryer on hot, as this can damage it further. Following treatment i felt Yuk for the first 2 days so rested, i didn’t push myself and virtualy ate what i felt like. Whilst having chemo i brought snacks that i could consume with one hand, the other being attached to infusion. I’d prepare my evening meal before i left home. I don’t want to over burden you with too much. But can advise for you to check other starters in previous years for tips.
The downside of Doxetaxel, are brittle nails and a red dye line travelling from nail bed to tip, but then you can wave goodbye. You will all get through this, and the beauty of having cold cap going into autum, even with turans and scarves and wooly hats, your head won’t feel as cold. Wings are free and fitting sessions fun. another great workshop is the 'fell good feel better make up session, wonderful tips and a free huge makeup bag, but pos best left until you know your routine, I had my in the 2nd week after my 6th cycle. Love and Light Moonsox xx.
