Nervous about next step

Hi @Schwen it's still considered to be in trial periods and some hospitals/treatment centres have them and some don't. It comes in two components. A gel cap and a velcro cap. Unsure if this is what they've done with some of the other ladies but with me, the cap had to be on for approx 1hr before they began administering the chemotherapy. They first wet my hair and then put hair conditioner in which ensures the hair doesn't break off from it being too cold. They then fit the gel cap on and then the velcro cap. It had to be on really tight in order for it to be effective. Once they switch the machine on, the temperature drops dramatically quite quickly. From what I remember it dropped to 10 degrees in about 1min. I found this to be quite a painful experience but the nurses were able to give me something that would "take the edge off". I know a few women didn't find this to be a painful experience for them and I know a few who had to take it off for a couple of hours. Once they have completed the treatment, the cooling cap needed to remain on for another hour and then you dry your hair and you're on your way. I know that the women have done this and myself included have not had any hair fall out (except possibly eyelashes and eyebrows, depending on the treatment). If it's something you're interested in doing, might be worth finding out from your treating hospital/centre if they have that option.

Don't mind my face in the photo but this is what it looks like
