Didnt have cold cap and all hair fell out just before 2nd chemo and didnt start coming back until after all 8 chemos had finished
Hi Julie
You may find it helpful to have a look at the BCC booklet on chemo and hair loss as there is quite a lot of information which may answer some of your questions. It can be found by following the link below:

I hope this is useful.
Kind regards

hi julie
I am still on chemo - but with big gaps due to postponed treatments - mine has thinned consistently throughout but i can feel some tiny hairs at the roots- although some of these may be falling out as well
what I’m trying to say is although it may be thinning you may have some regrowth if you feel around for it
also what’s left may be growing
cutting some weight off may help
good luck - keep us posed
