Cold Caps when having Adriomycin, Cyclophosphate and Taxol

Mitzro

I am beginning chemo therapy next week and am still trying to decide if I am going to go through with using Cold Caps to try to prevent losing my hair.  My Oncologist is giving me Adriomycin, Cyclophosphate and Taxol, and I would like to know if any of you have had success in keeping your hair with this type of chemotherapy?  It seems like the women I have spoken to who have had success, have not had this type of combined therapy.  I would love some feedback on this subject.

Hi Mitzro,

Some of the ladies on the Cold Cap users thread did the AC+T and had success.  Not as successful as with other regimens, but you might look through some of the older pages there.  One lady from Canada comes to mind.  Shipsgirl is her name.  You might try looking for her posts and try to PM her.  

Sorry I can't offer more help.  I had good success with ElastoGel caps but I did the TC chemo.

Good luck to you!

Thank you!  I will look for Shipsgirl's posts.
