Cold cap - is it worth continuing the frosty hell?

Hi ladies...having had two surgeries (masectomy and DIEP flap) in June / July I am now on the chemo journey 4 x AC (every 2 weeks) and then weekly Taxol for 12 weeks.  It sucks.  I have had 2 rounds...

@jenrhino and @Robynjane I did not have the cold cap as I suffer with headaches and this would have made it worse. Many ladies have had success with the cold cap and recommend it. I guess it all comes down to how much your hair means to you and whether YOU feel it is worth it. No one else matters in all this. Sending big hugs to you both as you navigate through all the emotions. Take care.
