Cold caps

does anyone know how I can get a hold of a cold cap for my 27 year old daughter who is starting chemo soon?
  • We have asked and can't get straight answer apparently Hospital looking into it but not available as yet
  • Peninsula Private I'm looking to hire one but can't find the right page
  • Andrea,

    Where she is doing her Chemo, and it is something you have to ask her Team about as it is done where she has chemo. Do you know what Chemo regime she is having? I had 4 FEC and 8 Taxol and my Oncologist said it wouldnt be successful on FEC so I lost it, but wasn't that bad at all. I had friends did cold capping, different regime and their hair thinned on top and they had to wear headwear to cover it. Very individual and if its something she wants to try absolutely try.
