With all the hot flushes I get I didn't use any cold cap, just got my hair cut short so I didn't block the shower drain. I keep a wet washer with me all the time and often wrap that around my head. I don't know if it helped my hair or not but after 4 rounds of chemo I haven't lost all my hair. Yes its thin and looking close up at the mirror it looks almost bald but my family tell me that from not so close it looks just like thin hair and not too scary at all. Can't wait for it all to start growing back, its drafty in the cooler months.
I had thoughts of not having chemo, not doing hormone therapy but if I don't give it all my best shot in this primary cancer what will I tell my family if secondary cancer rears its ugly head? At least all that can be done has been done.
