“Thank you to Sara and Marian for their care and support. Meeting two women who know what I’m facing was so helpful. Your knowledge about scalp cooling was spot on. I’m so glad that I came to see you as I might have given up on the cold cap without your ideas and guidance. Really amazing and lovely ladies.” Tracey
