I wonder if cold caps would work in the case of chemo drugs known to cause permanent hair damage - I don't know. I also don't know what impact, if any, cold caps would have on chemo brain. I suspect they would do nothing. Cold caps do not cut off blood supply to the brain or nervous system. If they did, they'd be deadly. They only limit the blood (and hence chemo) supply to the scalp.
Thanks for writing.
