Dear CarrieP,
I too had late change of mind to give Cold Cap a go.
I was lucky to be accommodated.
Just ask if you are interested, but do it soon.
You will be ok regardless. The Pegfilgrastin (I can't think of an abbreviation either) is a stimulant to the bone marrow.
In an effort to avoid low White Blood cells, and therefor possible infections. And to help avoid delays in your continued treatment. I only received this while on EC (Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide) as this was called dose dense.
With the Paclitaxol, some ladies here have used ice/cold therapy on their hands and feet, I hadn't heard of it.
Therefore I didn't try this. I didn't get peripheral neuropathy
You should be able to find their posts here somewhere, or they may reply here to you.
If you aren't able to use the cold cap, you may want to buy a wig and/or scarves to be ready for hair loss, in case you do feel unwell later.
You may like to cook up and freeze some meals etc.
Because I din't have nausea, I cooked quite a lot, but this was also during COVID lockdown and lots of people did this.
The Dexamethasone that you will probably be given with each Chemo can stimulate appetite, and temporary energy.
So you may find a pattern of more and less energy days.
You may want to have some drugs ready for constipation. With EC this is common. Maybe similar to your chemo.
Read the possible side effects for your drugs. I took Coloxyl with senna morning and night for 2 days following EC for constipation. You will find out for yourself.
I hope some of this is helpful.
