Yes I used it. I liked it because losing my hair wasn't so drastic. I did lose most of it eventually but now it is growing back nicely.

It was not recommended to me for mixed results and cost and I didn't think I could tolerate the cold on my scalp. It also increased the chemo infusion time by two hours for each infusion. I do use compression socks and gloves and frozen mitts and booties for the paclitaxel treatments to try to reduce neuropathy side effects. I do have just the slightest tingling in toes after 5 treatments, so I am hoping that was helpful.. I also continue to wear the compression socks through the first week after chemo. There is some science in some of that regime. Compression and the cold.

Has anyone had scalp cooling and if so, what has been your experience?

Unfortunately, the search results don't contain specific information about scalp cooling experiences from MyEndometrialCancerTeam members or details about this treatment for endometrial cancer.

Scalp cooling is sometimes used during chemotherapy to help reduce hair loss, but experiences can vary widely from person to person. Some factors that might affect your experience include:

- The type of chemotherapy you're receiving
- How cold the cap gets and how long you wear it
- Your individual tolerance for cold
- The effectiveness for your specific situation

Since this is a treatment-related question, your oncologist or healthcare team would be the best resource to discuss whether scalp cooling is appropriate for your treatment plan and what you might expect. They can also connect you with other patients who've tried it.

You might also consider posting this question directly on MyEndometrialCancerTeam to hear from members who may have personal experience with scalp cooling during their endometrial cancer treatment.
