It's all confusing but like almost everything to do with bc these are personal choices and are respected as such. I was treated too early for a cold cap choice too. I doubt if I would have done it, intense prolonged cold on my head would probably have caused me more grief than losing my hair. I believed my oncologist that I would lose my hair and while I waited until the first hairs fell, I had my course of action (no 3 clippers) lined up. I accept that, for many women, losing their hair is the worst part of treatment, just as I expect their acceptance that it wasn't such a big issue for me.
