Re: Questions about penquin cold caps
I wouldn't use cold caps for the same reason that yayan said. I have seen women with scalp mets and was afraid that using them could increase the risk.
I had taxotere the second time around and after 3 1/2 years, I still have to wear a wig or hat because it is so thin on top. But, that is not usual. Many women who have lost their hair two or three times have it grow back normally.
