    Hi i noticed this too - but this is not new. When i was a teen (i<m my forties) my friend's mother had it. regrettably she ended up with you guessed it bone mets including to the scalp.  My friend mentions this to me on occasion still wondering if it in part stopped the chemo from effecting where it should. My cancer agency started with gloves though because they felt mets to the hands were low and that would possibly stop the neuropathy but no scalp things.

    and merry christmas!

    I wish my place had me wear gloves or ice my hands. Right now I feel like 6 of my fingers were slammed in a car door and I have 2 more TX to go. I'm icing them next treatment for sure.
