Hi @Waterloo
I’ve just finished four rounds of AC chemo with cold capping. Have just decided to give up. Mainly because my hair is so thin and fine to start with, so when I lost about 60% of it ,I ended up looking a bit like a an orangutan and wouldn’t go out in public without a beanie or a cap anyway. Decided for me not worth it. Getting the rest clipped off on Wednesday.
I reckon if your hair is thick give it a go.
PS Yes it’s really cold but the nurses can give you something to sedate you, which really helped.
It also helped pass the time in there much quicker. :)
