Cold cap for chemo induced hair loss

Thanks Marions:
I will definitely talk to my onc about this. I had heard a little whisper about this, but wasn’t sure if it was “real” or a scam. I do have to worry about getting the scalp back to normal temps before the cold sensitivity sets in, but that took 1 day with my first treatment so hopefully I can discuss trying this. That seems SO COLD, tho!
I see my onc again on the 22nd for my next treatment and will post decisions afterwards. I do have a lot of hair, so if I lose a LITTLE, I would have a normal head of hair. But although I am willing to have fun with wigs, I really don’t want to lose my hair. I have decided it’s a small price to pay to live, so it would be worth it, but if the cold cap is an option, I’ll be willing to try it.
