Hair falling out
Forum Discussion
Hi @Berchel14 I used the cold cap and sadly ☹️ my hair fell out after the second cycle of AC. I cried buckets as I was really hoping the cap would work. It is a bit of an inexact science but it is worth trying as I know plenty of people have success. It’s one of things that you don’t know until you try.
Remember that you will lose hair and that doesn’t mean it isn’t working.
You may find you lose a bit and then it stops. My friend used it and kept her hair but she really emphasised that it did thin and she worried it wasn’t working, but she kept at it and I can honestly say if you didn’t know she was having treatment, you would not have known her hair had thinned. My advice would be to keep going and you will know as time passes whether it is working for you.
@kezmusc has lots of great advice about the cold cap. As a side note, @kezmusc has good advice on quite a few things, and entertaining too 😀. I decided to stop for treatment 3 as I had more than thinning but I don’t regret trying at all because everyone has different experiences.
I am up for anything and I am currently cooling my hands and feet during taxol! This forum is so good for getting advice and support. Nothing like a cheer squad cheering each other on.
I am wishing you lots of luck with the cold cap and it’s great you are feeling much better. Hang in there. X
