Chemo 1st of 4 cycles.

Well had my first round of chemo on Monday so far so good, have had no vomiiting touch wood. Nausea a bit more increased today since other days but taking medications and peppermint tea also minties and Ginger beer to help. Also getting plenty of rest in between doing essential housework. Have found great comfort not only from family, friends, work colleagues not too mention the Bcna network but also  in the book good (Bible) and pray. Have organsised appointment next week for wig. Trying out a place in Windsor Nsw, would any other members of the network be able to suggest anyone who deals in good wigs.

Thanks again

    I got my wig at Windsor.The girl there was very nice and helpful.You can choose from either acryllic hair or real hair.I paid over $350 for real hair wig but to tell the truth I didn't wear it much.It irritated my scalp and could only wear it for short periods.I also felt"fake"in it .I mostly wore cotton bandanas/scarves and caps.These were cooler to wear in the summer months. The wig you order may not be quite the same as the one you tried on in the shop.There is a great American website where you can order really cheap wigs and headgear. www.headcovers.org.  Take a look before you outlay alot of money.It's good to have a wig if you have some special occasions coming up but otherwise it'll be a killer in summer!
