Hi CJL,

I used the cold cap all the way through my 6 months chemo last year along with Daniel Field Suite Chemo hair products and I have to say I didn’t loose my hair! It went a little thin right at the top of my head and on a bit of my hairline at the back of my hair. Also I never cut my hair shorter as my hair is a shorter style anyway.

I always checked the cap was as tight to my head as they could get it and I could stand it and I’m sure that helped too.

Id recommend taking paracetamol 20-30mins before the cap gets switched on and have some gauze out at the front of the cap just so it’s not so cold on your forehead.

I hope all goes well for you.

hi. 

I’ve just been diagnosed with breast cancer 

today I feel my worlds fallen apart.  I had my 

lymph node removed by operation 3 weeks ago 

still recovering  

The breast nurse told me to think of a cooling 

cap it minimises hair loss. Was it painful on head or  just v cold. I’m dreading January have to have  more scans. Possibly another operation and then chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 

Did you get the cap from hospital and do you have to rent it out ? 

Thanks. Babita

how was your chemo. Did you use the cool cap? And I hope that your on way to recovery now x

i had my lymph nodes removed from my armpit 3 weeks ago and after one year they confirmed 

it is breast cancer yesterday.  I’m still so shocked and my whole worlds just fallen apart. I’m just v hurt upset thinking am I going to die. I’m not strong anymore. Can’t bekueve they taken one year with this probably made it worse. 

I got to have more scans in January and then possible another operation then chemotherapy. 

Im just dreading the chemo. Side effects. Hair loss. I’m always sick at the minute as it is.  

Hopw your feeling better now xx. Babita
