Want to share your DigniCap story?
Jen | New York
While I didn’t always feel like myself, I looked more like myself to everyone around me, especially my kids, which made the whole process a fulfilling one! I’m so grateful that DigniCap was a part of my cancer experience!
Howard | Florida
My white hair is my trademark and makes me very recognizable by friends and others. So, for me keeping my hair was very important.
Susan | New Jersey
For me, keeping my hair wasn’t an ego thing–I just wanted my friends and family to treat me “normally” while I was going through devastating cancer treatment.
Therese | New York
When you get diagnosed with cancer, there is very little you can control. I couldn’t control my physical feelings or my emotional feelings during treatment, I couldn’t control my long commutes to undergo the treatment, or having to take a leave from work, but being able to keep my hair, and look in the mirror, gave me some control over a really scary situation.
Maricel | Florida
Keeping my hair provided me with a sense of normalcy and one less thing to worry about during a a time that challenges people physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Allison | Colorado
DigniCap gave me the freedom to choose when to tell people about my diagnosis, to still feel like myself when I looked in the mirror, and to HAVE HAIR AT MY WEDDING!!
Mary | Florida
If you are reading this and you want the chance to keep your hair while going through this challenging time DigniCap is there for you.
Courtney | California
The reason I chose to use DigniCap is that I was going to work through 12 rounds of weekly chemo and did not want people to look or treat me differently. It was one thing I did not want cancer to take away from me.
Mary | North Carolina
The choice to use scalp cooling during my chemotherapy provided me with the freedom to continue to enjoy my friends no matter where we went. I was able to go on two trips and attend multiple birthday celebrations during my year of treatment, thanks to Dignitana. I maintained privacy and dignity throughout my treatment which also allowed me to continue to work.
Sharon | South Carolina
Keeping my hair has allowed me to choose who I wish to share my cancer journey with. I am doing great with my chemotherapy and have minimal side effects, but if I want to or feel I need to share my condition, I can choose the situation.
Monika | Maryland
I was inspired to create my Instagram account, @canceratthirty, to share my journey with the online community, and to speak about my success with the DigniCap and everything it’s done for me.
Heather | North Carolina
I’m blessed to have been given a chance to keep my dignity and regain some control with The DigniCap Scalp Cooling System.
Christina | Florida
When people found out I was undergoing treatment for cancer they would marvel how I still had my hair.
Chantele | North Carolina
I could go through chemo and nobody would know unless I told them. I would be able to maintain normalcy in my home with two very young children. I could look in the mirror and still recognize myself as I battled cancer.
Lizabeth | Virginia
When I looked in the mirror, I was not constantly reminded about cancer! I saw me, so I felt like me.
Connie | Maryland
With all the powerful and toxic drugs that have to be put into our bodies to help us survive, it’s hard to feel like you have a choice when battling cancer. DigniCap allows us to make at least one decision for ourselves. Thank you, DigniCap!
Areka | Illinois
I have been a hairdresser for 25 years. Hair is my passion – and my hair is my identity.
Allen | Connecticut
When cancer patients lose their hair it dramatically affects the way people treat them.
Dawn | California
DigniCap helps you feel normal.
Natalie | California
When you are diagnosed with breast cancer, you quickly become aware that change is coming and, in many ways, you are no longer in control.
Carla | California
If there was a way for me to save my hair during chemo, I was determined to find it.
Rachel | California
I didn’t want a lot of people to know.
Donna | Connecticut
With the use of DigniCap, I was able to keep all of my hair and could choose to stay more private about my battle with cancer.
Angela | California
Accepting the fact that I was going to lose my hair was very difficult because I felt as if I would be losing part of my identity. With the DigniCap, it allowed me to have control over something in a process where I really had no control.
Carolyn | New York
Not having that reminder every time you look in the mirror that you are sick, and you look normal to your friends and family, made the chemo much more bearable. Instead of illness, I saw myself.
