Worried about chemo side effects and possible hair loss. Can someone help me through this?

Hi

I have now reached the chemo stage after my mastectomy.

I am due to start 16 weeks of  chemo every two weeks  very soon.

I am very anxious and upset about hair loss and the brutal side effects they tell you about!

Can anyone who has been through this help me please

  • Hi, I cold capped and although my hair became thinner, I didn’t lose it all! Also, it’s surprising how quickly the hair loss angst falls down the list of priorities once your treatment starts! Good luck with your treatment - my chemo lasted from February to July and I was only sick twice, every person’s experience is different, try to keep positive, it really helped me xxxx
