I have decided that I am going to use a cold cap no matter what, due to the Taxotere. Although I do hope to have some success. I am now trying to determine if the dignicap or manual caps -

Has anyone used Dignicap with 4 Rounds of T/C? If so, could you share your experience and how long you kept the cap on post treatment?

TC = Docetaxel + Cyclophosphamide

I tried Dignicap with my Enhertu treatments, and it didn't work at all. I spent $1200 and lost all of my beautiful, thick, curly hair. What a waste of time and $$$!

I used Penguin Cold Caps which were manual caps. Worked great and I was able to keep all of my hair, but if I had the choice, I would have gone with Dignicap because you don't have to worry about switching the caps out every 25 minutes (1 hour before beginning chemo, 3 hours during, and 4 hours after for a total of 8 hours long for me), lugging around a ton of dry ice, making sure you get the temperature right, or having 2-3 people assist you with this whole process.
