When I started my cancer journey I was determined I would wear a wig when the time came. I've not worn it once. I hate it, it just feels too artificial.
I bought some fabulous cotton caps. .as it ...
I've been the same, I work only part time but on major sporting events, many outside and in summer so overheating was a problem. For me a wig was not something I even bothered with from the beginning. I have a range of cotton scarves designed for chemo patients, as well as a heavy lace one and some tube scarves which cyclists often wear. The tube scarves were great especially on the hottest days as there isn't much to them and you can change the style easily plus wear under a cap as they're quite thin. I also made my treatment very public as I work on cycling events which are very public, so hiding what is was going through wasn't really ever a consideration either. I also shaved my head as soon as the first bit of hair started falling out. Almost six months on now and I'm glad I didn't bother with a wig.
