Regarding cold cap therapy It is more than very successful.
The feeling with Ice cubes on the head is like chalk and cheese when comparing with the of the Penguin Cold caps special Crylon gel on the head. It is still very cold but the extra cold that the Crylon gel can attchieve freezes out the nerve endings quickly so discomfort is short lived When ice cubes are used the temperature is only at zero degrees Centigrade and the cold pain discomfort is felt for a long time Please visit www.Breastcancer.org and go to cold cap forums There are many pages which discuss the effectiveness of cold caps in preventing chemotherapy hair loss
Also go to Google and type in Cold Caps They can be rented from the manufacturers and can be delivered quickly.
