Hi @kat80pink
I’m sorry that you’ve found yourself on this forum but it’s a one stop shop of camaraderie, understanding, advice and support
I was diagnosed with triple positive BC a year ago. Had chemo and targeted therapy before surgery owing to the size of the area affected. I had mixed information from the BC nurse and another nurse in the chemo suite. The first said I might keep 80% of my hair if a cold capped however the other, who was much more experienced said I’d most likely lose it because of the docetaxol. I can’t abide the cold so the thought of having a frozen head for 6-7 hours wasn’t appealing. Nor was patchy thinning graying curls. I am someone who is a wash and go woman so not too fussed about my hair. I have had it short before and was curious about what I would look like without it. I bought a couple of wigs and caps for my head - surprising how cold your head gets in bed in January! Hair was all but gone by the time my 2nd dose was due. In the summer it was too hot for headwear so I braved the baldness. It was empowering and very easy to manage. Just factor 50! Two months after chemo ended I had a good covering. Now it’s thickening up and curly.
Our treatment path is a long one. If you’ve not done so already, have a look at the HER-2 thread. It’s now a long read but I found it invaluable this time last year. Reading about people reaching the end of the treatment with lots of humour, sage advice and kindness.
If there’s the option of cold capping give it a go. You won’t regret not trying.
Best wishes
