Headwear

Could someone please direct me to where I can purchase scarves or some sort of headwear.

Starting my chemo soon, have the oncologist appointment on Tuesday, so I can no longer prolong or pretend it's never going to happen, Oh how the 4 weeks healing has gone by so fast, even though it will be 3 weeks on Wednesday.

Please, where do I find something for my head ....I looked in the tabs above in the Shop ..sadly there is nothing, so I am looking in the wrong place?

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Getting the nerves happening all over again, whenever will this rollercoaster stop!

    Hi Denelle I found some silky scarves with fine pleats (try department stores), they didn't slip off and looked a bit fuller than the flat ones. I folded a double layer around my face to also give more volume. Wear some earrings and a big smile and you will be ready to face the world! I also recommend Look Good Feel Better. Vicki xox

    On Wednesday I went into the local cancer council shop. They had at least 300 wigs and heaps of scarves turbans etc.. They give you 1 wig free ( return it when you are finished) and you can keep the rest. The lady there was so helpful and I must have spent nearly 2 hrs with her. It is a good place to start.
