I finished carbo/caelyx at Christmas, my hair is still coming out ! Its thinned all over but is worse on the top. Is this normal. I would have thought it should be growing back by now. Unfortunately got another 2 rounds coming up,should I ask for cold cap this time ?

I finished chemo the beginning of January, and my hair is still very thin. There is no sign of new growth, so I think it must be one of the side effects of Rubraca.
