Starting chemo next week

Thanks for the tips again @GinGin I’ve just ordered cold gloves and socks, hopefully they arrive soon. It’s nice your hubby learnt how to cook 😊
My oncologist also advised me majority of her patients lost their hair even when cold cap was used. I still haven’t decided if I want to not even try. But then, I prefer not to stretch the treatment time. I’ve got myself a wig from the cancer council, so I’m a little bit prepared. Did you shave your hair or just let it fall off? I used to have very long hair and cut it to bob length just before my mastectomy.
