I came across this forum whilst researching Taxotere and permanent hair loss. I had breast cancer 8 years ago and am still suffering partial hair loss and hair thinning after all this time. I was told at the time of diagnosis I could try the cold cap but it wasn’t well tolerated and not always successful. All of the nurses and doctors at the time told me my hair would grow back, so I chose not to use the cold cap as didn’t want to be at the hospital longer than necessary. All I can say is hindsight would have been a great thing! I now therefore recommend to anyone worried about hair loss when going through chemo to give the cold cap a try. I now have to resort to daily useage of hair concealers and hair fibres to hide the hair loss or use of a hair enhancer.
