Re: Cold Caps...

Susan, I have heard of this but always thought of it as an urban myth sort of thing because, as you say, otherwise it would be more widely used. I have never known anyone who tried it. But from other posts, maybe it has some validity. Have you researched it at all ? What does your onc say? And treatment room nurses know everything!!
Keep the faith! (And the hair!)
