Chemo & hair loss
I am yet to have treatment plan confirmed but expecting chemo to be part of it. Interested in the use of the cold caps to reduce hair loss. Would love to hear from anyone who has used these and to hea...

Like @melclarity said if your chemo treatment includes the red devil ac or fec just focus on getting through your treatment , cold caps are a 50/50 option for those. I shaved my hair off 2 weeks into my first ac treatment after trying the cold cap, i struggled with not being able to wash my hair , style my hair and then the added time each treatment took a toll as well. I chose that my main focus was on beating cancer and losing my hair was secondary. If you are doing taxol chemo please try the cold caps as all my friends that did have all had pretty decent results. I know it's confronting losing your hair, eyelashes and eyebrows but you know something losing those things for a few months helps us get our lives back,
I have all of those things back now and am so grateful.
