Want to share your DigniCap story?
Lisa | Texas
I wanted to fight hard to beat breast cancer, but I also wanted to fight hard to not look ill. I am the type of person who prefers privacy without having others recognize that I was undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
Doña | California
Being able to keep my hair through DigniCap made me feel more like myself at a time when I could not have appreciated it more.
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.
