this may sound strange, but did anyone else get a really sore head (like it even hurts to touch my hair)? I'm 2 weeks in (about to have my 3rd treatment) doing carboplatin 3 weekly and weekly paclitax...
Hi @MaryB83, it didn't happen that way for me, but I belive it's not uncommon for the scalp to become quite painful. I had a different chemo regime, and they told me it would start to come out around the 12 to 14 day mark. Bang on, day 12 started malting more than usual, day 14 it was coming out in handfuls. It was clippered that day. If someone has said it will help and you're ok with having it done, go with it. If you're not sure, leave it. Take care
