&lt;p&gt;I have decided to buy a wig before I start Chemo. Does anyone have any advice on whether I should get a human hair one or a synthetic one? Are human hair one difficult to look after...? Do synthetic ones look natural? Any advice would be great!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just wondered if anyone has been through the process of harvesting eggs before they started chemo??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have decided to go ahead with it because I don&amp;#39;t have any children yet and my boyfriend and me definately want a family in the future. It will delay the chemo by 4-6 weeks but I think it is worth it to have an extra chance at having children when all of this is over. It will be several years before I can even try to get pregnant because I have to have 5 years of hormone therapy after the chemo and radiotherapy. Better late than not at all though (I am currently 32).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just wondered if anyone has any advice to offer or can give me any info about the procedure etc.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
