Touro patient Amanda Schwald was among the first patients to benefit from the Paxman Scalp Cooling System at Touro.
“I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason,” says Schwald. “A week before Thanksgiving 2017, I got a call from Dr. Cheng’s office that the Paxman Cooling Cap arrived at Touro right before my first chemo session. Paxman overnighted my cap, and I started chemotherapy on November 29,” says Schwald.
