Jamie’s Journey: Saving Her Hair Through Chemo with Cold Capping

Jamie, a busy working mom of two, had her world turned upside down in October 2021 when she was diagnosed with stage 1-A breast cancer.

Husband as her capper: Jamie’s husband was her biggest support during her treatments, helping her with cold capping before every session.

While she experienced some shedding, Jamie’s hair didn’t fall out in clumps. She saved her hair and maintained her confidence, feeling like herself throughout treatment.

“I would absolutely advise others to use cold caps. It helped me stay positive and feel more like myself, which made it easier to move forward after treatment.”
