Re: Penquin Cold Caps???
Hi,
They were not available at my hospital in '05 when I had chemo but some facilities did have them. I was chatting with a lady using one while getting her chemo a few months ago and I was just having a zometa tx, she really was'nt impressed and found it difficult to keep it on the whole time and the nurse I spoke to said some people lose some but not all their hair but overall no one using them kept all their hair.
Perhaps someone else knows differently though but I do recall reading that any hair left would be quite straggly with bald spots around the scalp so a scarf or wig would be needed anyway.
