Hi there, Im about to start chemotherapy tomorrow for ovarian cancer. I have been told this will be 6 cycles of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel, I am very nervous of the side effects and keen to link with others who have also had this.

Also, I am planning to try the cold cap - although I understand this is not pleasant so am unsure if I will be able to tolerate it but want to at least try it. Has anyone had this type of chemo and used the cold cap? Was it worth it, did it save your hair? I had kind of got my head around losing my hair (sort of!) and have bought a wig but if there is a chance it may work I thought I should at least try it.

Would love to hear from others that may be able to share experiences.
