Cisplatin - has anyone had this chemo and have any advice? Worried about hair loss

Hi 

as anyone got any advise or had cisplatin chemo .

I’ve just had carboplatin and Paxtil . I wore cold cap and thankfully saved lot of my hair . I have young grandchildren so tried to keep my hair as didn’t want to scare them .

i asked if I could still wear cold cap for cisplatin but was told no as cold cap doesn’t work with this chemo .

has anyone any advise on this or been on cisplatin ?

msny thanks x

    Me too...I had cisplatin first and was poorly but no hair loss. Also daiky radiotherapy and bracchitherapy.Had carboplatin , paclitaxel with cold cap and lost a little hair but not much. I also have painful neuropathy in hands and feet from treatment. Good luck. X
