Re: Penquin Cold Caps???

I am happy to pass along the information, there is no reason to lose hair anymore...with any chemo protocol. When I looked in the mirror every morning, I did not see a cancer patient. I saw me. The mental benefit to me was tremendous. I have young children, and it helped to have things as normal as possible. I see it slowly catching on...more oncs ask about it. I think my name is on some sort of list abut them because I get lots of calls from very nervous and upset women. Boy do I remember those days. Still have them occasionally!
It's been a blessing in disguise. Helping calm other women who are facing surgery, chemo, etc..has helped me heal. It's nice to be on the other side of the tunnel, even if I just got here, and by the skin of my teeth.
I SO apologize for big letters and bolding...I am brand new here and can't figure this out...I am highlighting and canceling the Bold button, darn it!!
And Jean...I LOVE your name too!! It will be very easy for me to remember
