Stephanie | California
Keeping most of my hair was great because it wasn’t a constant reminder to myself that I was sick. Thanks Dignitana for this wonderful option.
VIDEO Hilary | Florida
No one wants to be sick or look sick, and thanks to DigniCap I didn’t have to.
Crystal | North Carolina
For anyone who’s going through cancer and getting DigniCap you won’t go wrong. With everything I’ve been through, I still feel like the beautiful woman I was before I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Marisa | California
Some doctors/studies say that losing your hair is harder than the actual diagnosis itself. It’s true. I was able to still feel like myself, get up on stage and confidently perform in a sketch comedy show at week 12 on chemo. I just finished 20 rounds of chemo (5 months)! I’m so thankful to still have a near-perfect full head of hair.
DigniCap Patient | North Carolina
I lost around 10 percent of my hair during the three-month period, never developed any bald spots and my hair looked good throughout treatment. This was a boost to my self-esteem and helped me feel “normal” in a situation that was anything but that.
Sharon | California
Cancer sucks and it takes so much away from us but one thing we can keep and maintain is our hair, thanks to DigniCap and their amazing people. Thank you for being there for me when I needed the most. Thank you for this amazing technology and making it available to us.
Allison | California
Just the possibility of keeping that part of me–healthy me–was so empowering–that I could, at least on the outside, be the same person I was prior to my diagnosis.
Kimberly | Kentucky
It has now been over 6 months since my last chemo treatment. Thanks to DigniCap I was able to keep my hair and my dignity. And I am now cancer free. I am so blessed!
Rebecca | California
I was thrilled with the results overall. The fact that I went through 3 months of chemo and strangers would never know I was a cancer patient was very rewarding.
Christine | Connecticut
DigniCap not only helped me in the obvious physical sense but also helped me mentally work through my sometimes difficult chemotherapy.
Monika | California
I count my blessings each day and I was very fortunate to be able to use DigniCap. Thanks to DigniCap I was able to preserved my hair, which was very important to me. My friends are amazed that I still have hair.
Amanda | Illinois
I feel like cold capping helped me continue to date, work, and live my life as normal as possible. I had control over who knew my story.
Limor | California
To me, looking normal as far as the outside, is the only way I made it through chemo without getting severely depressed on the inside. I owe this to the DigniCap and hope that others will get inspired and learn that there are options.
Sandra | Mississippi
I have completed four rounds of Taxotere + Carboplatin and have been very blessed with NO hair loss…Not losing my hair has made such a difference for me. The possibility of saving my hair gave me something really good to focus on and gave me hope.
Jamie | California
Cancer takes so much away from us–time, health, energy, plans, simple pleasures, appetites–I’m glad that hair doesn’t have to be another thing.
Jocelyn | New Jersey
Thanks to DigniCap, my hair has grown back faster than normal, which I was told could happen… I’m so glad that I went the direction that I did and choose to try using DigniCap!
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.
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.
