Hi Sharon, I used the frozen gloves during my chemo. They worked a treat for my nails. I get what you are saying re the time factor for oncology staff. I found the gloves excruciating the first time but tolerable from them on. One time I had to "share" with someone else as the unit only had two pairs!!! "Somebody" is not very considerate of "us" are they? Hair always does grow back but if it is important to the owner then it is important enough for something to be done (especially if there is an option). I must say I thought wearing the frozen cap would be horrendous after the first time with the frozen gloves. I never want to have chemo again - I would research the frozen cap option though. Well done to you for perservering and standing up for what you want. Best wishes XLeonie
