@CathyMac @Shellshocked2018_ it is so true that everyone does chemo differently. For me everyone warmed me of constipation - not a day but I took handfuls of gastro stop and indigestion meds. Just have the drugs on hand and don’t hesitate to ring your onc or the nurses or whoever they give you to contact(make sure you have a number!) if you are in doubt about anything
on the cold cap I’m in the give it a go camp. I was given a sedative and it was only intense for about 5 to 10 minutes I think the first time was the worst as I was so stressed by the whole unknown chemo thing that I made it worse the next three times were probably only 5 mins. I had some thinning but most of my hair stayed and it has bounced back quickly
