Shaylee I'm so sorry to hear how it is going, I totally agree it is traumatic losing your hair, I think too after having some friends go through using cold cap and they did struggle and still had to use caps or headwear.

All I can say is, its what YOU feel deep in you, what you want to do, nobody else, maybe hang in for a little while longer see if it stablizes. I know its so hard! Flip side, my profile pic is 1yr post chemo and I had long beautiful blonde hair it was devastating, but I lived with it and focused on it would come back and it sure has, plus I had beautiful wigs cut into the same shape I had, nobody could tell.
