Thank you so much for sharing your story @Yiya as I am about to embark on my own chemo journey and have been considering using the cold caps but didn't know much about them from someone's personal point of view. I especially appreciate your candid photos of your hair during your chemo treatment as well to give me some idea of what might happen to my hair although I understand the outcome isn't the same for everyone.
I do have a question for you around your chemo if you don't mind me asking, you said the first 20m were the worst and why was that? I am feeling quite apprehensive about chemo as it is the fear of the unknown (how my body will react) and any bits of advice you can give me would be fantastic (apologies if this isn't the right thread for this question).
To give some background to where I am at, I am 4 weeks post mastectomy of the left breast with a tissue expander done at the same time. It has taken me this long to start to feel ok again although the tissue expander still feels very weird (so rock hard!) but at least the pain has subsided considerably :)
