Fec-d regime
Hi there
I'm starting chemotherapywith fec-d (5-fluorouracil–epirubicin–cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel) on 25th June. I'm going to try the cold cap as well. What are your experiences with these treatments..feeling nervous.

- Trikki2MemberThanks Joannie
Thanks for the love. No I wasn't meant to be here. My my biopsies didn't match and when surgery occurred she found more
Anyway this is the hand I'm dealt and I will remain positive and smash it out. - AnonymousNot applicableThe user and all related content has been deleted.
- Trikki2MemberOh thanks for the tip. Hope your going well xx
Trikki2 - Kiwi_AngelMember@Trikki2 no I had TC. It was though but not as bad as I was expecting and I managed to keep working for most of it. I would recommend having panadol before the cold cap - if u can get through about the first 20 minutes u will be ok. Xo
- Trikki2MemberHey Kiwi Angel. Thanks hun. How did you go with chemo? Did you have the one I'm having? I hope I can cope with the cap xXxX
Trikki2 - Kiwi_AngelMember@Trikki2 I used the cold cap during my TC treatment and probably lost about 50%of my hair - left enough to wear a baseball cap with a ponytail hanging out. Everyone is different some people have amazing results and other have bad results - I fell somewhere in the middle. Good luck for your chemo xoxox
