Here is a link to a previous discussion on cold caps. I personally didn't, I wasn't recommended by my Oncologist as he said it wouldnt be successful having FEC, possibly just Taxol it may work. I've had friends that have used it and thinned alot on top and ended up having to wear scarves anyway. I think there are some success stories here on the forum however. Its alot of added time in the chair, its not pleasant from what others have said either. Very personal choice, I had gorgeous hair and didn't want to lose it, but figured too, I wanted every cell in my body to be hit with chemo and partly felt cold capping would interfere with my scalp.
