One of the most traumatic parts of chemo for female patients is losing hair. One of the drugs I was on, taxotere, can cause permanent hair loss in a small percentage of patients, which terrified me. So I chose to use frozen cold caps during treatment, in hopes I could preserve some of my hair follicles. I still lost about 50% of the hair on my scalp, but the cold caps enabled me to save just enough hair to feel like myself through the process.

Now that my baby hairs have grown long enough, my stylist @grasonius was able to work some magic with hair extensions. Now, exactly a year after finishing chemo, I have my long hair back. 🥰

I am so grateful for the option of cold cap technology, but for most women, it’s far too expensive to do. For my birthday this year, we raised more than $8k for Hair To Stay, an organization that’s provides grants to low income women for cold capping. That’s grants for up to 7 women! In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I’m now hosting the Hair to Stay virtual fundraiser on Oct 25th. Tickets are $25, and I’ve left a link in my bio if you would like to join or support. Thank you for giving these ladies just a little bit of joy during a challenging time 🎀
