Hi Annie
This is the web site to go to, to find out more detail about the caps. www.penguincoldcaps.com which will divert to www.msc-worldwide.com. I have used the caps successfully and they are easy to tolerate. If you have long hair it is heartbreaking to lose it and then have to start again with hair that is never the same from what you had.
If you want the caps I will have the coordinator from the UK email you with the costs. Once you have the schedule & dosages for the chemo you are having, the regime for the caps usage can be provided as different drugs require a different time schedule. Depending on where you are located I can have the caps to you within one week unless it is urgent and an overnight courier can be arranged.
Sadly at this stage there is no Medicare rebate or Private Health Fund rebate available here but if enough people are interested I will be lobbying the government to get changes made there to get them funded as it is done overseas on private health cover.
This is a link to the information that the Adelaide Cancer Centre have about the caps on their site:
