Where to buy wigs (I live in London)

Can't help with the wig buying but the best swimwear is from ASDA (on line only nut true to size). You should check with your nurse about the swimming though. 

Hi Londonmumof2  I was diagnosed almost 6 years ago and was living in London at the time. I found a lovely shop called Trendco who you will find at 64 Westbourne Grove, London. It’s just off of Nottinghill. The staff in there at the time were amazing. I had booked an appointment and the lady I saw was kind and patient, nothing was too much trouble. 

I believe they even run support groups for people who are dealing with hair loss for whatever reason. They had a great selection of wigs and were full of advice. So might be worth a look. But like I said it was 6years ago that I used them! 

Just one other thought, you might want to check with your Oncologist about swimming in a public pool while on Chemo! I know I recall mine saying best to avoid them especially on the week that your immune system will be at its lowest! But maybe the current view is different! 

Hope that helps and good luck with the wig fitting and your upcoming treatment. Take Care. Sal xxx

Thanks everyone. I'll make an appointment at Trendco once its certain I'm having chemo, as I'd like to try them on and get some help.

I'll be on 3-week cycles of EC for the first 3 months and wondered about the third week of each cycle. My local pool also has a lido, so the idea is that I'd go but in the indoor pool which is almost deserted in the summer! I wanted to swim because it's a good exercise I for anyone at risk of lymphodema, but  will check. I'm abandoning a 12 day holiday in Majorca because of treatment so  feeling a bit sorry for myself!
