Good afternoon ladies!

I go Monday for a second opinion. If they recommend chemo as well, I will be starting CT week after next. My Question is, does this cause complete hair loss, some, and does cold capping work with this chemo? My head is still spinning with all this but trying to get my ducks in a row since they will want me to start it soon. My oncologist told me it will cause thinning at the bottom in the back. But after researching I see something totally different on every website I read. Thanks all!!

    I had four rounds of TC and never lost all of my hair however I had thin hair to begin with so I ended up buzzing it and wearing a wig to work or special occasions. That looked better than my rely thin hair. Six months after my final chemo I got it cut and colored and it looks great. But you can definitely cold cap with TC. The caps work well with taxane drugs
