Can you elect to do your chemo at another hospital that does offer them? I did do cold cap but I had to do it at the local private hospital and use my private health insurance.

in regards to the byo caps I followed a lady in instagram who did it and it looks like a lot of work, you need to have multiple caps and keep the caps on ice and kept at a certain temperature and changed at certain intervals, this lady had to take her mum to every session to help with it all, it did work but it looked expensive and tricky.
