No. It is not a small thing. My kind, compassionate oncologist told me many of his patients felt it’s the worst part of having cancer. True, our exterior is merely our outer shell, but we’re accustomed to appearing a certain way and that is dramatically altered for a period of time. I admire those who can go out into the world with nothing or simply a scarf, but I wanted to resemble my old self as much as possible-for myself and my loved ones.

Hi Marti-
I wore a wig immediately after I started to lose my hair. I still do 4 years later because, although I have hair now, it is terrible hair that refuses to behave. Everyone loves my wig and I constantly get compliments. I wear the Rachel Welch wig that is heat resistant, has a cap you can part in any direction and soft nylon at the hairline. My style is chin length and the color shaded biscuit. Nobody knew I was fighting cancer and the wig helped to keep it that way at least for quite awhile. If the wig does not have bangs, they can be cut. I always take my new ones to my hairdresser and she cuts bangs and styles it to suit me. So glad you are not sick and best of luck.
