Hi Candice,

I said no to this one, but I suffer from hemiplegic migraines and ice pick headaches so I was not going to voluntarily have any pain in my head area :D

My hospital do offer it but are unconvinced of it's usefulness still, they haven't had someone on chemo for breast cancer NOT lose their hair yet.  But who knows...

I maybe find it easier than others but I'm just not fussed about losing my hair, it'll grow back, and my mum says that even though it feels like a long time AT the time, afterwards she felt like she wasn't that long without her hair at all.  I had mine cut short and am getting fringe pieces made from it that can be velcroed under scarves and hats just so I look more 'normal' for my nephew (he's only 3 and his mum's my identical twin so he already finds how I look confusing!)

I've bought some fantastic scarves and headcovers from the Deresina range and am looking forward to getting my sewing machine out and making some of my own.

Just a thought, it might be that it's a helpful process for your daughter to involve her as a fashion consultant for choosing head covers (if you don't go for the cold cap or if it doesn't work).  Might make it less scary for her?
