Self conscious about wig

Hi Hazel,

I have 2 wigs, 1 was exactly what I was before chemo, long & black. The other was a copy of my daughters hair, long and dark blonde....same as what I was before I started colouring it when I was 17. Together, I spent $700 on them. 

I felt like a GOOSE with them on! I just knew people were looking at me, there was no telling me otherwise. In my 6 months of baldness, I wore them no more than 4 times, & if I did, it was with a beanie over the top of them (it was winter). I was more comfortable with people looking at me with a scarf wrapped around my head. Maybe because if felt like I was faking it, rather than being real about what was going on.

When spring hit, I just start going out bald! I realised that if people wanted to look, then they can look. I wasn't ashamed of having BC or being bald. It was kind of liberating. 

I did look pretty hot with the blonde one now that I look back. It's funny the things we think :)
