Wig outing!!

Looks really great Halley!

I have a wig ready as I'm starting chemotherapy next week. Also have a couple of soft chemo turbans for if I don't want to wear a wig.

Who would even know??!! Suits you!! Xx

Thank you, I had a couple of bad days last week, hair was coming out in handfuls, I just decided last night that I was going to put it on and go out, kept telling myself I’m not wearing it for others but myself,  at least my roots won’t need doing! Good luck with your chemo and take one day at a time xxx

Thank you, tried to match up to my hair colour & style, the lady I saw advised me to buy a portable steamer to use on my wig, very gentle but smoothes it down, got one off Amazon, take care & hanks again xxx

You look really fantastic Halley would never have known it’s a wig. Congratulations on being brave and just doing it, it takes courage but now the first hurdle is done you have the confidence to go again

Thank you for your lovely words, still can’t believe I’ve done it but so glad I did, had some lovely compliments & kind words from my work colleagues, can’t wait to be back at work and normality, thanks again & take care xxxxx

Just wanted to ask is it quite normal to feel a bit head achy when 1st start wearing a  wig, not an intense headache but niggly

Hi Halley

yes it's is normal. when I first started wearing a wig I could only do a couple of hours, now I wear it all day and sometimes I forget I got it on.

I have now got quite addicted to them even though my hair is growing . I have put some photos up on previous posts wearing my different styles if you would like to see. 

Good luck with the rest of your treatment.

My hair has started to fall out. I find it quite annoying more than anything else. My scalp hurts like he'll. I'm sure when I wash it lots more will fall out. I have so many side effects, like rashe and hip pain, dry painful cuticles.  Oh.. Not forgetting.. Terrible headaches. I have enough energy to drive my daughter to school but my energy levels just to downhill if I exert myself. Next Wednday is my 2nd EC cycle.

Thank you so much for your lovely words, took another hurdle this morning and had  the rest of my hair shaved off, few tears but feels so much better, no moulting and doesn’t feel as itchy, thanks again xxx
