Hi all
I was diagnosed with HER2 positive ductal breast carcinoma in July. I had a bilateral mastectomy in September and have just learned that I will now be undergoing a weekly 3 month course of Paclitaxel chemotherapy starting next week.
The hospital where I will be having my treatment do not offer the cold cap service. They withdrew this service stating that they do not have the time or resources to offer the service. I was wondering if anybody has any experience of purchasing their own cold cap kit and if so, from where and how effective this was for you.
I had hoped to hire the Penguin Cold Cap system which I’d found online, but this requires sourcing my own dry ice for freezing the caps. Although this is all possible, I have just been informed that my hospital will not allow this due to health and safety reasons of handling the dry ice.
Therefore, I am back to square one and losing hope of accessing a cold cap system.
does anyone have any advice for me please?
Thanks
