Chemo hair loss doesn’t have to be inevitable.
#YouveGotThis
Chemotherapy-induced alopecia is known to be the most feared side effect of cancer treatment, and for a long time, hair loss was a horrible inevitability of receiving chemo. Scalp cooling offers chemotherapy patients the option to retain their privacy, reduce hair loss, promote stronger hair regrowth, and take back control during their treatment.
If you’re about to undergo chemotherapy, scalp cooling could be a choice for you.
Join thousands of patients across the world who are using Paxman to cold cap.
You’re not alone – you’ve got this.
Leah’s Story…
After receiving her diagnosis in 2019, Leah decided to scalp cool during her chemotherapy treatment to take back some control and the chance to retain her hair.
“When I looked in the mirror I still felt like I was looking at myself. Out of all of the things you have no control over during chemotherapy treatment – it was the one thing I was doing for myself.”
Our #YouveGotThis campaign is inspired by the 3,000+ members of the Paxman Scalp Cooling Facebook Group – an incredible community of individuals who share their stories, advice, experience and guidance every day.
This community of empowered patients fiercely support one another and bring empathy, sensitivity and humor to the most challenging of situations. They know how hard this journey can be, but they also know how much of a difference scalp cooling can make.
We wanted to share the determination, kindness, and self-advocacy that this awe inspiring group of people show each other. And we also want to ensure that as many people as possible know about scalp cooling and that it is an option.
Chemo hair loss doesn’t have to be inevitable.
Shawna’s Story…
In 2014, a week after retiring from teaching, Shawna was diagnosed with breast cancer. Determined to keep her hair and maintain her privacy, Shawna chose to scalp cool during her chemotherapy treatment.
“We don’t have to lose our hair, it’s a choice. I didn’t want to feel as if someone was looking at me and saying –she has cancer.”
