Dedicated Husband Spends 60+ Hours Cold Capping To Save Wife's Hair During Chemo

A dedicated husband spent days on his feet helping with his wife's cold capping so she could keep her hair during chemo. Ashley Cass, 25, from Lenexa, Kansas, discovered a lump in her chest in July 2025, and assumed it was nothing to worry about. But after her mom encouraged her to check it out to be safe, the results diagnosed Ashley with breast cancer, turning her husband Jonny's life upside down. They left their home in California to move back to Kansas for treatment, were given two weeks to carry out IVF before Ashley started chemo, and decided to get married in that time as well. After their wedding on October 11, Ashley started her chemotherapy on October 14, and the one thing she was worried about was losing her hair, as she wanted to keep her life as normal as possible. She decided to go through with cold capping, where a cold cap is placed on the head during treatment, restricting the blood flow to the scalp and reducing the metabolic rate of hair follicle cells, protecting them from damage caused by chemotherapy drugs. Jonny, 25, immediately decided that he wanted to step up as the cold capper, as it allowed him to feel like he was helping Ashley with her treatment.
