I would reach out to the supplier if they have a number you can call. The cap may not be on properly or is not tight enough in the area where you got the bald patch. If you still have some hair that’s still a success. You would otherwise be completely bald at this point - usually complete hair loss happens around round 2 if not cold capping. I also am getting TC and going into round 4 tomorrow. - my last. I have been able to keep some hair albeit it is thin - probably lost 50-60% so far. I did get a wig which is a nice option but I can also wear a hat and my hair looks normal in it. It has helped me so much with my confidence to still have some hair, it is also supposed to regrow faster and prevent permanent hair loss. Hope that helps but do what feels right to you of course Good luck!
I read a long thread from several ladies who had more shedding then they expected. I lost the thread while getting to figure out how to post to it.
I will have round 2 of TC tomorrow. This past week I have lost a large percentage of my hair. Balding patch on the crown. I am struggling with do i continue. After tomorrow I will have to purchase 2 more seasons with Dignicap for close to $ 1,000.
I guess I will see the damage in the morning and cold cap tomorrow How much hair loss it too much to continue?
Thanks
Cold caps can help reduce hair loss during chemotherapy, but their effectiveness varies significantly from person to person, with success rates ranging from 27% to 90%. While some people maintain most of their hair, others may still experience significant hair loss even with cold cap use.
