I'm starting chemo next week and it was suggested that I sort out a wig for when my hair falls out ... I have done a bit of googling and it all seems a bit mind boggling to be honest. I am rubbish at choosing clothes yet alone a wig!
Any suggestions lovely people?
Anyone else starting chemo next week? I am absolutely terrified - I think it is fear of the unknown. I just want to start it so that I can at least feel that I have one treatment down.

Oh I was the same for the 1st night but have been absolutely fine since barring the uncomfort from the PICC line. I wasn't offered a Port and I do believe they are a better option. Stay strong and you've got this!!!!
I have round 2 this Friday and hoping it will be as much as a breeze as round 1 was 
Hi Bluebell,
I have been diagnosed with Brain Tumour last December and had my Surgery on January. Since my tumour was massive surgeon couldn’t remove all of it after going through 8 hours of surgery. So they took the biopsy to test in the lab and unfortunately it was cancerous. I have been told that I have grade 3 Astrocytoma Cancer. I felt like falling from sky.
Currently my treatment is undergoing, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy, which will last for 6 weeks. It started from 1st March. 2 weeks completed still 4 more weeks to go. I am having its side effects. First day was horrible. I vomited many times and was hospitalised to do the necessary tests. After a week I am loosing my hair a lot and also my skin has gone darker like that of sunburn and had acne and its scars.
I also want to try for my free wig fitting just to be prepared for the future. So could you please tell me how do I do that. I really want to try and see how it looks and decide whether I should have it or not. Also, please advise me if anyone else is having skin problems due to radiation. My face look terrible. I don’t feel like watching mirror. Please help 
Regards

You are right Radiotherapist told me the same. Since I am having side effects of the treatment, it means treatment is doing its work. There is Only 12% survival rate for 5 years and I want to be in that 12%. So I am pushing myself very hard to be more stronger and positive. I am trying my best. 
Thank you so much
