I hate my wig

This sounds so awful for you, and something you should not have to go through.

I went to an nhs approved wig shop in my local town. I used the voucher and paid a little extra for the wig. My hairdresser came with me and we got one as similar to my own hair as possible. When the wig arrived I went again with my hairdresser and it was trimmed to my style. I was treated so well. I haven't worn it yet as I have only had 1 chemotherapy so far. I put pictures of me on FB wearing it without mentioning it being a wig and nobody suspected. This is how we all should be made to feel.

• Hi you should be given a voucher for a wig. Mine was £150. The voucher can be used at approved suppliers. These are listed on your voucher. You can top up your voucher if you want to, but to be honest even the ones within the voucher price are good. Take someone with you when you go. It's better to get an opinion from someone who knows you. Try different styles, even if the style isn't quite right they can be trimmed to suit you. Hope this helps.
