no. 103 – The Scalp Cooling (Cold Capping) Episode [Part 1]
I hope you never need the information shared in today’s episode. But the likelihood that you will know someone facing chemotherapy is sadly higher than any of us would like.
When/If that day comes and that person is faced with the option of considering a relatively new technology called “Scalp Cooling” (or “Cold Capping”), I hope you’ll share this episode with them… or at least summarize it for them. (It’s a long one! But it’s FULL of good info.)
Joining me in this episode is Mellisa Bourestom, VP of Corporate Communications for Dignitana — the parent company of the scalp cooling system I used, Dignicap.
In the show we discuss:
- How The DigniCap Scalp Cooling System works, and who it helps.
- Is Dignicap Scalp Cooling safe?
- How much additional time scalp cooling adds to your treatment day.
- Why keeping your hair during chemo is so important for some cancer patients.
- Where DigniCap is available.
- Is DigniCap covered by insurance?
