Re: Penquin Cold Caps???

I used them for 6 rounda of tch. I kept my thick shoulder length hair. Most women do. Noone even knows I was going thru chemo. Even with adriamycin, the hair remains. They stayed on tight, but you do have to have a loving partner help you during the infusion as they must be changed. Frank Fronda invented them, and is an angel to talk to....have your friend call them up. There are imposter caps out there, not working nearly as well...so beware.

Geewhiz, (love the name)...lol

thank you for the contact I will pass it onto my friend who is having A/C.
She has been so upset over the hair issue.

Will let you know how it goes for her.
Kind Regards,
