cold cap

What are the side affects of cold cap, how bad is it. I thought it was just rather uncomfortable but have heard you can have real pain and discomfort. Am just scared of everything at the moment.  just feel totally panicked and overwhelmed due to start treatment very soon.

  • Hello Katie, welcome to our forum . Sorry to hear you are in this position but you will find plenty of support and ideas here. I had bilateral Breastcancer in 22 followed by chemotherapy . I had the option of the cold cap but decidedl against it as it would have put more time on my day at the unit . Many women used it and seemed quite happy. It is not always successful. I have met women who decided to try it for a few sessions and then changed their minds . Try it and see how you feel . Good luck and keep in touch xx
