Hello, I am due to start chemo for TNBC next week, I am trying to stay positive but am understandably scared.  


I am trying to get so many things sorted out before I start & I keep obsessing over the wig I have bought, I really don’t like it now. I tend to do this when I have something important to deal with, I focus all my attention on something stupid!

I am now thinking shall I go look for another one (they aren’t cheap) or wait, will I feel well enough once I start? I am going to try cold capping, but realise I will still loose some hair.

sorry if this seems trivial, I can’t stop thinking about it! 

  • I’d wait. I bought one and literally never wore it. I wore a soft beanie if I needed warmth or otherwise went bareheaded. I bought the wig because I was worried about needing to go to something like a funeral and not want to draw attention to the fact I had no hair. But in normal life I felt absolutely fine without it. 

    Good luck. For me it was nowhere near as awful as I feared 

  • Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.  I think the fear is getting to me! Xxxx

  • I agree with SusanHB. I bought one and hardly wore it, instead preferring head coverings that were easy to put on. I bought mine from www.annabandana.co.uk. They have lots of lovely styles, are affordable and come very quickly.
