DigniCap

We started DigniCap Connect, a private Facebook Group, where current and former DigniCap patients come together to share their experiences and offer advice.

To join, visit facebook.com/groups/dignicap. We also have a page of Frequently Asked Questions at DigniCap.com

Swimming is perfectly fine, but we advise against getting your hair wet. It is recommended to avoid harsh chemicals that can lead to dry hair, breakage, progressive hair thinning and hair loss. It is not known whether chlorine or salt water will damage your hair during scalp cooling.

Using a swim cap is not recommended because of the additional strain it puts on the hair follicles.

If you do go swimming, we advise washing your hair and proceed with the recommended hair care.

The cancer journey can be scary - but reading the stories of others who have traveled the same path can be incredibly reassuring. One of the most important things we do is collect and share the stories of DigniCap patients so others can know what to expect.

Your unique journey matters! If you haven't already, please take a few moments to share your story on our website. We'll turn some stories into inspiring blog posts and share others on our social channels. Your words have the power to inspire and educate those just beginning their own journey.

Don't forget to send pictures too! Share your moments before treatments and wearing your DigniCap. Your smile and strength will light the way for others.
Together, we can create a supportive community that fosters hope and understanding. To share your story, visit: dignicap.com/patient-stories

After your first chemo treatment with your DigniCap, coolant remaining in the cooling wrap is normal. Between treatments, store your DigniCap and cooling wrap in a cool, dry place. Don't wash your wrap between treatments.
