Scalp Cooling during Chemo?

Hi @Kazmar , I tried the Cold caps with my initial dose of AC chemo. it was a 50/50 chance that it would help me keep my hair on this type of Chemo and it didn't work for me. There are varying degrees of success with using them though and many of the women who were doing Taxol chemo when I did had more success with the cold caps. Like anything through the treatment path we are on that might help to make us feel better it's definitely worth giving them a try. One thing to keep in mind if you do decide to do them it adds at least an hour and a half to your treatment time, you can't colour , style or wash your hair as regularly as you usually do and it's best to only wash it in tepid water. Many of the women had varying degrees of thinning of which I wasn't overly keen on the look of ( for me ) but there were some who pretty much kept all their hair. If you do decide to give them a go buy a good gentle conditioner as you will need to wet your hair and comb that through before each cold cap treatment.
Good luck
