Good evening, I need your help!!! I’m due to start a tough chemo regime on Monday for 24 weeks.
Now I was totally set on doing the cold capping but my oncologist has thrown a spanner in the works.
When I had my consultation with him he said that he wouldn’t use the cold cap as he wants the chemo to reach every tiny part of my body………now what do I do? One of the chemo nurses just said that she wouldn’t bother with the cold capping as the hair will fall out anyway. I’m feeling so anxious now about what to do. HELP!!
Im Having EC, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide every 21 days for 4 cycles. And then paclitaxel weekly with carboplatin every 21 days for 3 cycles.
Feel in a real pickle as what to do because I can totally appreciate the doctors thoughts, just I hadn’t considered that and was set of trying to keep any hair possible.
I would be keen to know if anyone else has been told this?
Thanks x
