I think i have a new disease ?
We may need to be on our guard as I have identified a new disease some of us may be susceptible too , wig mania. I have never given a thought in my life about wearing a wig , why would I ? I have hair and I don't suffer with alopecia.
This new condition I seem to have is the fault of my oncologist. It started when she handed me a wig voucher ? I hadn't really spent much time thinking about my hair, she obviously knew the chemotherapy drugs she was going to pop me on, were going to seriously have an effect on my hair. So I got my first wig its a nice blond bob . The only thing is I fancied a long straight one too , okay so really i fancied a straight day now and then , so I got one from Amazon its lovely . When it came I was so pleased with it , and it would have been even better, if it was in pink. I have always thought it would be fun to dye my hair pink for a short time but I have never had the courage to do that . and I can't do that now so ... i got a little pink wig, its lovely !
With Christmas approaching as fast as my decreasing hair line, when my son asked me what I would like this year , bless him he knows how difficult its been . before I could even engage my brain I found myself saying as quick as a flash "an Ombrey wig with a fringe and choppy ends" , I haven't got one of those ! This may turn out to be a serious disease for me ! Just take care out there hope you don't catch it . Jayne
Hi Rhiwbina,
What a brilliant idea to have different wigs. Perhaps a different look for each day of the week.
Oops, I should not be encouraging you!!
When a woman goes on the cancer journey, why shouldn't she treat herself!!
I was offered a wig consultation by my oncologist, but decided to go bald when I started to loose my head hair. I bought a selection of different coloured headscarves & sleep caps.
Enjoy your wigs, stay safe & take great care of yourself.

Hi Jayne,
I agree it is a rollercoaster of a journey we ladies find ourselves on.
This my sound awful but it is how I've managed to cope most of the time, yes I've had a few wobbles along the way.
I lost both my husband (Jan 2014) & my youngest sister (Dec 2020). They both had terminal lung cancer.
I drew inspiration from their attitude, dignity & humour (sometimes black humour), which gave me the strength to accept my diagnosis "it is what it is" & let my medical & surgical teams do their very best for me.
My two consultants (Breast Care & Oncology) have been absolutely brilliant, as have the nurses & other medical staff.
Stay safe, take great care of yourself & remember to be kind to yourself. If necessary be selfish as you need to put yourself first.
Jen
