Hi Jacqui and Josie,
I think you are both very normal in your reaction of wanting to cover your bald noggins.The bald look might look ok on younger women but on us middle aged ladies,forget it.I even wore a bandana around the house cos I hated walking past a mirror or letting my husband see me bald.You can hide the missing boob with a prosthesis but your head is on show.It's a blow to your self esteem and confidence -not really vanity.You have to do what makes you feel comfortable so if covering your head helps you get on with life then do it. You are going to be covering your bald head for many more months and you don't get used to it -just better at covering it. I had some cotton stretchy beanies that I would wrap a silk scarf around and tie in a bow at the back- try that Josie.I liked my cotton bandanas when it was hot.The wig drove me nuts too after a few hours.By the time it's all over you will have both become" head management"experts.
luv Tonya xx
