Dear Nelsky,
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by TC. What is the abbreviation for?
I did EC which is Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide x4, then Paclitaxel x12
I'd still try the cold cap. You've got nothing to lose.
I didn't use conditioner, I hadn't heard that that was a good idea. It couldn't hurt.
The nurses did it all. But I did sometimes encourage more water.
I read somewhere that curly hair may need more water.
It conducts the cold.
If you do it don't pull the cap off fast, there could be icicles. Then you wait a few more minutes.
I don't think that there is a lot of info on why it works or doesn't.
One thing for sure is that you will leave Chemo with wet hair. Take what you need to sort your hair out especially if you don't go straight home. My hair is curly, so I did add some hair product.
I saw ladies using Cold Caps with long and short hair.
Let us know if you go ahead and how you go.
We'd love to hear from you, on how you go with Chemo anyway.
