Hello...I am scheduled to start chemo at the end of November...but today, I was reading online & came across something called a "Cold Cap" for Chemo patients to aid with hair loss.
I sent my Oncologist an email to ask of the hospital offers this treatment.

Hope this helps.

While I did get the cool footies and cool hand wraps for the neuropathy I wasn't all that concerned with me hair, if your center does not have them, you can look on amazon, I have seen them there. Just to update everyone too :)...I did shave my head 3 days ago, the hair that was coming out was just too much and in the shower it had gotten so tangled that I couldn't brush through it so my husband wound up having to cut it out anyway...then my husband, a very good friend of mine and I all shaved our heads...it was quite a surprise when my husband handed me my tablet and my friend was on skype and did hers as my husband did mine...then my husband handed my the clippers and told me to do his too...I was crying by the end of the whole thing...one interesting thing, some is starting to grow back, so I am assuming I am going to be one of those that needs to have her head shaved once every once in awhile.
