Hello Cartel.  I had chemo last year and I was also very stressed about the thought of losing my hair.   I was offered the cold cap, but after I had done a bit of research on it, I discovered that a lot of people who had had it during their chemo still lost all of their hair, so I decided not to have the cold cap.  Instead, once my chemo began, I asked my nephew to shave off all of my hair, rather than watch it fall out a bit more each day.  My chemo finished in december last year, and now, five months later I have a lovely head of hair again.  It is so nice not to have to wear hats and scarves any more.  You must of course decide for yourself, but this was my own personal experience of chemo and hair loss, and you know Cartel, it really does go by so quickly once the chemo begins.  Mine lasted for 4 months and it flew by.  Your hair will be back before you know it.  I have been using 'Child's Farm' shampoo which I get from Amazon, because chemo can leave your scalp and new hair a bit fragile for a while, so a gentle and non-perfumed shampoo is the best.  Good luck mate.
