Hi Linda,
I know exactly how you feel - losing my hair was much worse than losing my boobs. My adult children took me shopping for a wig -we went to lunch first, they were very supportive, but I was feeling a bit numb. I chose a wig in a similar style to my usual hair style, but nicer. I wore it everywhere, as I felt more "normal" with it on. Yes it sometimes got uncomfortable, but I got a lot of compliments on my " lovely hair". I thought that people were just trying to make me feel better, but then strangers also complimented me. I even had a man try to chat me up & he said what lovely hair you have (he was being sincere - he even said it was a bit different the next time I saw him).
I wish you all the very best for the future, it is a very hard time, but hang in there, it really does get back to normal after a while. I know I felt like my hair would never grow back, but it did & now it's back to normal (actually I think it's better than it was before) .
