My sister used Cold Caps during her chemotherapy treatments last year and kept about 60% of her hair. The wonderful part of that was that she could tell who she wanted to tell about having breast cancer and keep it to herself if she didn't want someone to know. Honestly it was extremely helpful as she worked full time. I was diagnosed a year later and planned to do cold caps if I needed chemo but have only needed surgery, rads and hormone therapy instead. She would say that it was absolutely worth it.

Used cold cap and bought my own mitts and slippers to freeze and protect against neuropathy. Made it through 3 months taxol with zero hair loss!
