Dear Nelsky,
You've got nothing to loose if you try. You could shave if it becomes obvious it isn't working.
I used it successfully. ECx4 and Paclitaxel X12.
Many people didn't know i'd been having treatment for Cancer.
The cold did not bother me much. The temperature drops in about 10 increments, over 1/2 hour.
You get used to it just like you do when you jump into a pool. I often fell asleep, while the Chemo was in progress.
It did add extra time 1/2hr before and an hour after.
You should have a good indication if it works after 2-3 sessions. You could decide then, whether to continue.
I was advised not to blow dry or straighten my hair.
If you go ahead, make sure your hair is very wet, and the cap fits well.
I think that there are 3 sizes. The nurses were great at doing this for me.
The caps are not custom or a perfect fit. I sometimes wore an extra strap over the top, when there seemed to be an air bubble.
I had some thinning, but no-one seemed to notice but me.
I can send photos if you message me.
