You do not have to brave the shave

It is now Day 31 and I still have pretty much all of my hair thenks to the cold cap . The itching feeling you get when the follicles ar bring attacked has now gone so I pretty much expect to make the 3rd round of FEC with hair intact . This is said for one reason only - for many of us hair loss is the most traumatic aspect of chemo and I am determined to get the message out there - you do not have to lose your hair and more hospitals should be pro-active in encouraging the cold cap . The Christie in Manchester offer incredible support and have a great wig specialist team too mine is there on standby too
