Re: Cold Cap Therapy Halts Hair Loss During Chemo?

Hi - I am using the elasto-gel caps for TCH. The first tx went longer than expected so I wasn't able to keep my head as cold as it should have been. I have continued using them though and my hair has fallen out but evenly, not big clumps AND I have noticed that where the cap fits snugly against the head there is less hair loss. I would suggest the penguin cold caps at this point since the elasto-gel caps have some air gaps especially on top. Good luck. I am also cooling my fingers and toes in an effort to protect my nails. I use insulated lunch sacks from Target and frozen peas for this.
