My wife was offered it by insurance in the UK and she refused it. She hates being cold, so when she read that its not always effective she decided against it. Some hospitals also offer cold gloves, to save your nails.

Everyone is different and for some people the losing your hair is a huge loss on top of an already shitty situation, so anything that helps people through it is a good thing.

My wife ended up bald and for once in our marriage we shared the same hair cut! Gutsy lady, I remember the tears when the clumps started to fall out but she stoically put it behind her, whilst chemo wreaked its chaos. Time passed and now she has "chemo hair" and its still full of curls a year after the weekly chemo finished.
