Hi, just wanted to post for those about to start chemo that the cold cap has worked well for me and I would recommend. Just a bit weird in first 15 mins then I forgot I had it on. I had thick hair/ a lot of hair to start with ( tendancy to be frizzy) but only have lost about half of it so far and so looks like hair for an average person .
When I entered the drugs I am taking on the coldcap web site, it came up with 50% chance of losing 50% of hair but if I had known my doses of drugs, it would have provided a more accurate result . So if in doubt - go for it and I have lost very little hair in cycle 3.
Best wishes
Hi Beepeep
Am glad that it is working for you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
It worked for me also and would recommend anyone giving it a go and if they don't like the sensation then they can quickly turn the machine off.
I will pop a link to the website for Paxman which is the usual scalp cooling used in the UK.
For anyone else who is trying to make a decision this blog has more info.
I wish you well with your next chemo and we are here if you need us.
Jane
