cold cap issues
Hi All
Had my first round of AC today. Tried the cold cap but found it to be unbearable.... had it on for 10-15 min first time then had to take off...splitting headache, gagged from strap, and felt...
Hey Emma.
What a bummer it didnt work for you. I was able to tolerate it. It is uncomfortable though especially that initial freezing head rush you get. I had extra strapping around my chin as well as the cap used to ride up. I found it weird to eat and drink as a result. I was completely over it by chemo number 6 I lost my hair on top of my head because of fitting issues with the cold cap and loved wearing hats to hide my friar tuck look.
Hope the rest of your chemo goes well.
Take care
