Pros and Cons of a Cold Cap

Hi

I am interested to hear of your experiences with using a Cold Cap during chemotherapy, the pros and cons.

How long you wear it while having your chemo session.

Thank you

  • Hello Sandradee, 

    We've had several members of our forum share their experience with the cold cap recently. One example is  who posted last month about their last cold capping experience and  also shared her cold cap story. Don't hesitate to post in these discussions if you would like to do so. These are just a few examples and you will find plenty more if you type in 'cold cap' in our search forum function located at the top of the page. 

    You will also find an interesting section on cold caps (also known as scalp cooling) at the bottom of our page on hair loss, hair thinning and cancer drugs.  I hope this information will help you learn more about the possible pros and cons. Talking to others here about their experiences with the cold cap may be helpful too and I hope that someone who has tried it before will pop by and share their experience with you. 

    Best wishes,
