I hav cold capped & managed to keep a lot of my hair

just hoping for some shared experiences please

Thanks Jackie

Hi Jackie,
I had 6 cycles of Docetaxel & cyclophosphamide and am having herceptin every 3 weeks. I found it quite manageable with the main symptom being bone pain and tiredness. I never had any problems with sickness.
