@emim The hair loss can be a bit confronting. Ask about the cold caps - it's worth giving it a go and if you can't bear it or it doesn't work well enough, then you can always stop. And you can have some fun with the baldness. @kmakm had crown henna done while I have oodles of scarves, caps and beanies and a wig for when I want to fly under the radar (many donated by some lovely women on this site). I'm pretty sure that I've read that there's a wig library in Canberra - worth checking out as you may find that you really can't be bothered with wig most of the time and hiring/borrowing one is a lot cheaper. Book in for a Look Good Feel Better course if there's one near you. You get a bundle of new makeup along with advice on applying it to counteract the effects of chemo, and at least in the one I went to, a woman from a wig business came in with a selection of wigs and caps to try on.
