Early breast cancer

Hi Liz, so sorry to hear you have joined this awful club, especially at such a young age. I lost my hair when I had chemo and I really struggled with it. I just thought I would mention that there is device called a cold cap which I understand can prevent  or at least minimise hair loss. I'm not sure how effective it is or whether it's even possible to organize one at most chemo facilities. It was certainly never offered to me. But had I known about them before chemo I would have looked into the issue. Apparently it's very uncomfortable - like having your head encased in ice for the 2-3 hours of chemo I would imagine - but I would have given it a go if it had been available to me. Don't want to get your hopes up as they don't seem to be very widely used and perhaps they are very expensive. I really don't know. But it might be worth asking. Good luck. I hope your treatment goes as smoothly as possible. janet.
