Scalp cooling therapy to save hair during Chemo
Donation protected
A week ago I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 3 breast cancer. Grade three means it's aggressive so they want to start chemo immediately. Im trying to do the scalp cooling therapy to save my hair and while its not a gaurentee i have to try. I don't think i can mentally handle anymore bad. While the therapy is effective it's not covered. So I'm asking for 2200 to cover it. I dont really have any time at all to raise this but im not doing it without it. Thank you for your time.
Scalp cooling reduces the damage that chemotherapy causes to hair follicles. When cooled, the blood vessels in the scalp constrict, reducing blood flow to hair follicles, restricting the amount of chemotherapy medication that can get into the hair follicle cells.
