Hi Rubiablanch,

Thank you for your post.

Your hair will get thinner when receiving Eribulin and some people will lose all the hair from their head. Hair loss can also affect your eyelashes and eyebrows. Unfortunately, there is no cold cap service in the Mater Public Hospital.

If you would like to chat with one of our nurses about any of this please contact the Support Line on 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.

Kind regards,

Cancer Nurse
