Hi all
I am due to start chemotherapy next Wednesday and I have been asked to consider scalp cooling . I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery in November I should maybe have put that informatioat start
. Since the surgery I am suffering with a lot of headaches..most days in fact !!!
I just wondered what people’s thoughts are on scalp cooling? I’m unsure it’s right for me but would like some advice please ?
thank you

Hi
Great you’ve already got through surgery, though not so good about the headaches! There’s been a recent thread with comments on the cold cap so you may want to check it out HERE or I put a load of info in another thread HERE
I successfully kept my hair after using it during Paclitaxel chemo, so please get in touch if you have any further questions. Wishing you the best of luck on Wednesday!
