Cold caps, triple negative and FEC-D
Hi all, I had my first oncology appointment today and chemo is planned. I’m having FEC-D treatment (for triple negative bc). The cold cap is also being offered. Has anyone used the cold cap with this...

HI @Kellee,
I had a different chemo regime than you but had a great run with the cold cap. If it is being offered it's definitely worth a go. I wouldn't be too concerned if you are told it won't work on this treatment or that treatment. Everyone responds differently and a lot of people are quite negative. You never know if you don't try. There are some stats on the Paxman website about different treatment success rates if you wanted to look.
I will say though that the 1st treatment is the make or break with it. Do your homework and make sure you know how it is supposed to fit and work before you start. Don't leave it up to the nurses as some are experienced and some are not and only you can tell if it's fitting properly.
I am more than happy to give you some tips if you like. Just send me a pm.
All the best lovely.
