Wig, cap or scarf advice please

Assuming you are in the UK she will be entitled to a wig (or at least a contribution towards it) from the NHS. In my hospital, the service is arranged onsite through MacMillan, but I think the arrangements vary quite a lot. My hospital is a large tertiary city based hospital. I was referred to the service by oncology, I was contacted by them, went in and had a fitting, got a wig that was a very good match to my pre-chemo hair. In practice I am only wearing it when I want to hide my status as it’s a lot more comfortable to wear a scarf or a turban, and I have a lot of suitable scarves anyway. 

Thanks that's very useful to know. Did you have a favourite place/website for scarves/turbans?

I bought the basic sleep cap here but then add my existing scarfs around the bright colours I choose, seemed like most cost effective option to me (although I think maybe the sleep caps could be cheaper elsewhere this shops background appealed to me) Xx

I am using things I already owned

Hi ChrissieJ

I found the website Anna Bandana was good for headwear - low prices, quick delivery and lots of different designs from plain to really colourful.  In case your sister has a PICC line fitted they also do cheap and comfortable PICC line covers.

I’d recommend looking at cancerhaircare.co.uk - this charity has loads of great info and advice, including videos.  They also run excellent, free online workshops including on how to look after your hair, tie headscarves etc.  

thanks - i might send her a couple of caps - i love that they wrap them up like flowers

thanks, I'll have a look
