Hi my last chemo and cold capping is next week. My oncologist has given me go ahead to book a last min holiday but my question is will my hair be ok in the heat as I’ve managed to save 80% of it cold capping?
Hiya, i have just completed my 5th of 6 chemo treatments. Used the cold cap for 2 sessions but then decided I could no longer endure it on top of the treatment itself. Buzz cut my hair about 8 weeks ago so not much on my scalp now.
I asked my specialist nurse about holidays and sitting in the sun. She said to go ahead and book a holiday but chemo treatments affect your skin for about a year afterwards. She advised to always sit under an umbrella or in the shade when the sun is out and always apply factor 50.
