No-one medical ever mentioned the Cold Cap, which I found interesting. But my sister-in-law is a nurse and she Iknew some-one who had used one, and that was my first info I got. I am 2 days from FEC no 3 and did lose my hair by the handfuls, then felt off enough on the 2nd day of no2. I just said "Shave it off!" I see they give you cold gloves for Taxotere - for your nails, so I am wondering why they dont bother with your head! A cold head for 3 hours wouldnt be fun. As an ex hairdresser and a lover of my hair, I found it a bit confronting right til last minute. But as others had gone through it before me, I eventually just accepted it would happen and didnt follow up with the cold cap! So I will be keen to read what others say!! XX Bel
