Hi, I’m feeling similar although I’ve had 4 out of 8 treatments. I thought the cold cap was working and I guess I did work because I definitely kept my hair much longer than I would have without it, but I have had massive shedding the last few days and I can’t decide if this is just prolonging things and adding more stress, would it have been easier just to shave it at the start and get over it!? The daily shedding is very upsetting. What chemo are you on? I’ve done 4 x EC and will be moving onto 4 x paclitaxel now which apparently isn’t as harsh on the hair so maybe I’ll hold out for one more and see if the shedding slows.. xx

Hello

I am on 3 rounds of Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide and then 3 rounds of Phesgo SC and Docetaxel.

 I think I will give the cap another go. I can cope with the shedding but if my hair starts to go patchy I will stop. Not sure how my final 3 infusions will make me feel and how they will effect hair loss although I have been told that for the final 3 rounds I will have cap on 30 minutes before chemo as I do now but only 30 minutes after infusions compared to 90 minutes now.

Best wishes
