Wigs etc
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had my lumpectomy on 28 October. For the first 2 chemos I had the cold cap but gave it up as having chemo every week found it too stressful. On friday I go for my 6th chemo, halfway through and my hair is now starting to come out so today, with my daughter, went to get a wig and 2 turbans. I tried on about 15 wigs and although my hair is silver/grey decided on a brown/auburn wig and 2 turbans all for free. The lady volunteer who helped us (Denise) was lovely and so helpful and supportive. In a couple of weeks I am going to the 'Look Good feel better' workshop. I just want to say that the breast cancer support services in the Perth area in Western Australia are fantastic. Looking and reading other peoples journey I realise mine is relatively easy (so far) Still have radiation to come. Thank you to all the people who donate money and time from a grateful lady on an unwanted journey.
