When to give up on ice caps
Hi, after 2 rounds of a/c chemo with ice caps my hair is very thin with a few small bald patches. I'm not sure whether to give up on the ice caps. Having some hair gives me a reasonably "normal" look ...

A friend of mine used cold caps during herceptin treatment and although her hair thinned, she kept a lot of it. She laughed when she told me that her hairdresser had cut her hair into a "comb over" Having lost every hair on my body, and lived with running eyes and nose until the hair grows back, my advice is yo just think about it and do what your heart tells you. We all have to manage this treatment our own way, so if the ice cap is too unbearable, make your own choice. Sending you a big cuddle, Trace xxxx
