Hi Cheri, I was diagnosed with HERS 2 positive in July this year. I opted for a double mastectomy and removal of sentinel nodes (August), two weeks later I had an infusaport inserted for my chemotherapy. I have now had 4 rounds of chemotherapy and luckily haven’t had to many terrible symptoms, main gut issues. I shaved my hair off so that I could get used to having no hair and have had no hair loss yet 😂. I was offered cold capping but chose not to have it after reading up on it. Mainly because while it stops some hair loss, it doesn’t prevent all of it. I thought I would just look messier with part of my hair out rather than all of it. I bought lots of head covering and wear a variety of these as my hair starts to grow slowly back. I was surprised how cold my head gets without hair.
Good luck with your treatment.
