Hi @Trikki2,
I found the 1st session I wasn't too cold as I still had all my thick hair, so was fine in a tracksuit with socks & they give you heated blankets usually at the hospital, just ask for another once you feel cool. I was freezing & shaking round 2 & 3, even for days after but i lost so much hair days before round 2. Also I am a thin person & feel the cold. So depends on the person. I had a tv above my chair but often played 'uno' with my stepmum. Some people sleep during treatment
