APPLETON (WLUK) - A growth conclusion can mean misfortune: loss of wellbeing, loss of time and sometimes, with chemotherapy, loss of hair.
In any case, another treatment, called the Chemo Cold Cap, is helping a few people keep their hair.
Last January Suzie Bloomhuff was determined to have bosom disease. From that point forward her life changed drastically.
"I needed surgery and a mastectomy and afterward I experienced chemotherapy," Bloomhuff told FOX 11.
One change Bloomhuff needed to stay away from was losing her hair to the chemo.
"I was reluctant to be bare. I didn't realize that I might want that. I knew the wigs were troublesome: irritated, hot," she clarified.
So Bloomhuff attempted a moderately new item called Chemo Cold Caps. They're solidified, gel-filled tops chemo patients wear.
They were endorsed by the FDA a year ago to help patients keep their hair.
ThedaCare's Regional Cancer Center began utilizing them with Bloomhuff a couple of months back and they worked.
"What it does is it confines the blood vessls so the chemo drugs don't get up to the scalp, or the hair follicle," clarified ThedaCare cosmotologist Lisa Kellnhauser,.
Now the tops are just for bosom tumor patients.
"They have attempted it on different patients that aren't bosom growth, however it's just been endorsed for the medications that bosom tumor patients get," Kellnhauser let us know.
There are different disadvantages.
For one, the cost, the cost about $500 every month of treatment and as indicated by the American Cancer Society they don't work for everybody. The tops are likewise uncomfortable.
"It's truly icy. We need to wear the tops around eight hours," said Bloomhuff.
Be that as it may, for patients, as Bloomhuff, who've discovered accomplishment with the tops, it's all justified, despite all the trouble.
"Makes you have a feeling that yourself. You don't emerge in a group, you mix in increasingly and that is imperative for a lady's looks and self-regard," clarified Kellnhauser.
"You feel truly lousy. So at any rate, once in a while, when my quality was lifting move down I could assemble myself, put on some cosmetics, go out and feel like I was ordinary once more. Just makes me feel more positive, better self-regard," Bloomhuff included.
What's more, now Bloomhuff is going away and moving on.
"I'm trusting that I've beaten it and recently trusting that things keep on going admirably," she let us know.
