Hi @Kerry-Lee47 - yep, found it definitely one of the most confronting things about breast cancer treatment - losing my hair - but please don't think of wanting to feel confident about how you look, as vanity.
I think it's awesome that there are amazing people who are comfortable going out into the world with no hair - but I'm not one of them and I don't consider myself to be vain - I think that the people who are following their breast cancer path wearing a wig, or scarf, or hat, are just as awesome and just as amazing!
I don't hide the fact that I'm going through breast cancer treatment, nor that I wear a wig - it's actually a great wig - but it's a very different look for me - I've gone from dark blonde to brunette - so as most people know that I've lost my hair, it's obvious that I'm wearing a wig - but that's cool! I've had great wig conversations already LOL.
It's simply a matter of whatever makes you feel good about yourself and confident to walk out that door. You need to do what's right for you and you're no less brave or courageous or resilient or awesome because you choose to wear a wig.
Here's a pic of me before (just come from the hairdresser hahaha) and a couple of pics with my new look - dark for winter! It will eventually grow again :smile:
