Hi this is my first post… secondries diagnosed last year, informed last week that has progressed into my lung, done Capecitabine and Vinorelbine and Everolimus and Exxemestane none of which have worked very well, back to chemo… start weekly Paclitaxol next week having lost all my hair with Fec and docetaxel 4 years ago I realy do t want to part with it again ! Have asked to cold cap but I am starting to worry if I can cope doing it weekly and the time it takes as I have to travel for my treatment anyone else done this weekly ? Also I have no time limit on treatment 12 cycles then a scan if working I will be having more so could just be on going… I do tend to get migraine as well has anyone suffered with headaches from cold cap ? Ohhh the dilemma my hair is very thick do I make treatment easier and just let my hair go or try to hold on to it… HELP !
