In this episode, my beautiful "Pink Sister", Amber Planeta shares her breast cancer journey with us and her and her husband's decision to try cold capping for hair preservation and cryotherapy to help with neuropathy. Amber was 36 years old when she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer.  She completed 8 months of active cancer treatment including chemo, surgery, and radiation, and is currently on hormone therapy for 10 years. 

Questions Addressed:

1. Background (Amber's cancer story)
2. How did you learn about cold capping? 
3. What was appealing to you about cold capping? 
4. Neuropathy is a major side effect of taxane chemotherapy.  Talk to us about cryotherapy for your hands and feet. 
5. What were some of the challenges? 
   1. Dry Ice Shortage
6. What tips and resources can you share for those who want to try it?
