Well what able body people think is wheelchair friendly and what wheelchair users think are 2 different things, before making this statement companies should talk to wheelchair users first, when spouce was in a wheelchair it opened my eyes to how difficult handling a chairs is.
Just wondering if anyone can help. My hair had gone really really thin since I started my chemo. I havnt lost my hair I think its because I'm only on chemotherapy tablets. I will be on these tablets the rest of my life . Was just wondering if anyone new if I could get hair extensions in just to make my hair look thicker and fuller or would I not be allowed to do that. When I've looked online I can only come across them for people who's chemo has stopped. X
Hi Bev, I've just had my 2nd does of chemo today, as normal I showed this morning as I was drying my hair I noticed a gray snow fall, yes my hair is falling out already not as bad for a man as for a woman.
If I was you I'd ring Macmillan help line 0800 800 00 00.
Hi Bev, I'm sorry I can't help regarding hair extensions but when I was on Trial Drug my hair got really thin and patchy. The Specialist Hairdresser in Maggie's advised either a wig (which I couldn't get used to) or to get my hair cut short and start using Plantar39 which gives your hair a bit of body. I use it every second wash! My hair is still fine but it is not patchy now!
Love Annette x
