Cold Cap with thick hair...Chemo tips..

Hiya,

Has anyone with really thick hair used the cold cap and had relative success? My BCN implied that the cold may not get through to my scalp properly because of how thick my hair is..

Difficult decision to make as there are no guarantees.

Any other chemo tips with regards to nails...other healthcare greatly appreciated. 

Xx
