I think it depends on what your treatment is. Certain drugs are brutal on hair, some not as bad. At the time, I would have jumped at cold capping. In hind site, I couldn’t have done it. I had chemo, the winter of the polar vortex. I was cold all the time. I am told the first 15 minutes are a bad brain freeze. Plus, it can add up to 2 hours to the infusion. I wanted out when I was done. I am told it does not work well for AC, which I had. And it costs thousands of dollars.
As far as using cooling mittens and socks, I absolutely would if I was getting a Taxane (Taxol or Taxotere). I had Taxol. I iced my hands, not my feet. I did have neuropathy in both by the time I was done. It completely resolved in my hands, I have mild residual in my toes. I have heard of people being left with terrible neuropathy.
Wishing you well!

The boots and mittens can help minimize neuropathy. I did not have those, and wish I did because the neuropathy in my feet made them feel like I was walking on fire with every step. Fortunately, most of it healed, I still have some numbness in the tips of my toes and fingers. I did not do the cooling cap, insurance does not usually cover it, and it is not always successful. Others here have used it, so I am sure they will chime in and share their experiences with you! Keeping you in prayers! Hugs!

I went through TNBC stage 3 never had taken hormones. I went through chemo red devil was really rough. Lost my beautiful hair in 1 week. Done 4 months of chemo. Then finished with weekly taxol until I had my masectomy. 9 months of chemo.
