Do Cold Caps Remedy Chemo Induced Hair Loss?

from The Cancer Survivor Show by The Chemo Girls · host Sharon Crews and Lucy Barlow

Hair loss is possibly the most globally dreaded side effect of chemo. Most often the first question out of a patient's mouth when they hear they must undergo chemo therapy is, "Will I lose my hair?' Cold caps to the rescue! These awkward and expensive devices come in like a knight in shining armor to save the day. Or do they? Life is not a fairy tale and there is rarely a blanket remedy for anything huge in our life that is a perfect fix. Cold caps are not for everyone, but the thought of retaining our locks throughout chemo compels us to entertain the idea. Grab a drink and sit with the Chemo Girls as they discuss what they have learned about cold caps.
