Ice cap or no ice cap? personal experiences?

Thanks ladies. I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond. Im starting to lean towards the 'stuff it' angle and just go with the flow. I mean how often do we get to start our hair all over again? I have been advised off a great local store that sells head coverings especially for this and their website shows lots of choice. I will also look at wigs down the track when I am in a position to return to work. I teach so I want to be able to confidently stand at the from of the class again and not scare the children :) 
I wish all of you the very best of health as we fight our battles. I really am being sincere when I say what a bloody fantastic network of strong women we make xxx
