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 I was given voucher on first app. With onco and told def will lose hair . So went to hairdresser and had pixie cut then had wig fitting with lots of fun trying all sorts on . Including one of my 21yr old self( long thick) but took away a pixie style .
That was August . Hair was stubborn so in the end it was Dec 2019 when I had shave so new hair could grow to shape .
Went into shielding March 2020 came out July needing haircut . Needs cutting every four weeks as I'm keeping it short .
I was opposite to you and couldn't be bothered with wig but did have quite a collection of beanies with diff coloured headbands . Had loads of fun if I felt people were staring in cafe etc . I would take hat off ...their problem not mine lol
Enjoy ringing the changes if cancer teaches you one thing it is be yourself ....
