Might be out with some of the exact times here because it was over 2 years ago my wife went through treatment. The things i remember, it added around an hour onto each appointment, sometimes more.
You have to take painkillers an hour before because it gives you headaches. It actually gave my wife migraines. She forgot to take painkillers once, so that added around 2 hours onto the appointment.
She endured it around 4 times during her 7 or 8 doses of chemo. She kept around 40% of her hair, even though she stopped using it. Whilst using it, her hair only thinned slightly. But yeah, the hassle it brought her, she just stopped it. The discomfort was also an issue.
It's one of those things that is proven to work in some cases. "Works" is a broad term. It was deemed to have worked in my wife's case. Some people keep most of their hair, some a fair amount, some less than half, and in some cases, it doesn't work at all.
Thank you for sharing your wife’s experience. I hope she has fully recovered from her treatment and enjoying life. I just want my treatment to start and hopefully recover and put this horrendous disease behind me.
