Hi @KyzaD69,
I had a different regime to you, 4 x 3 weekly AC and then 12 x weekly paclitaxel. The cap worked brilliantly! My hair shed a fair bit but was even all over and no body could tell but me.
It's definitely cold but only lasts a few minutes for most people then you kind of go numb and it's fine. You get lots of warm blankets from the nurses to keep you warm.
I never found it painful at all and I really didn't care about the extra time. The day was buggered anyway so what's an extra hour and a half.
It does add a bit of extra stress the first few weeks until you see how it goes.
Honestly, they could have dragged me through a field of broken glass if I thought it would have helped. Everbody is different and it's just up to you and how you feel about the whole thing.
All the best xoxoxox
