Love your attitude @likeleigh2 ! I had my hair shaved when it started dropping, and got a free (new) short wig from Thinkpink if you're in Melbourne . They are still operating during lockdown doing stuff via zoom but their wig service probably can't be accessed but give them a call?. I had long hair beforehand so couldn't get used to the new wig , I just looked too different, so bought one from Creative Wigs in Swanston St, they were great and could probably send you one. I donated mine to the Peter Mac wig library, which also has scarves and hats. Silk pillow slips are lovely to sleep on , especially when you head hurts from the hair loss, a friend gifted me some when I was first diagnosed and I've seen them since on Groupon .
I wore the wig for about 4 months until my new pixie hair looked good enough to me. The eyelashes are another story! Mine fell out 3 times but they too come back eventually! Good luck with it all. And yes I agree , COVID sucks BIG TIME !!!
