Self image and wigs during chemo
Hi everyone Due to start chemo very soon. I am just wanting to get tips on making myself look as well as i can during chemo treatment. Ive registered for the look well feel better program but im just wanting any other tips for now. Planning to invest in a wig- so any advice on that would be great. Anyone recommend shaving all hair off before chemo starts so its less traumatic?
Wigs chemo cruise
Hi. Im due to start first round of chemo Friday 25th jan. Just found out yesterday. I was told Tuesday at 1st Oncology appt. That i will lose my hair within 2 to 3 weeks of first treatment. So based on that i need to get moving. As im feeling nervous about work and everyone knowing. In adelaide i have found x3 wig suppliers 2 are by appt only and dont open all day and one in. city. It seems they are really expensie i have very tight budget. Im running out of time as work full time. Cant find a wig library anywhere. Tried RAH and google wig libraries.nothing. Its weekend so cancer council are closed. Im not sure what to do cut hair order cheaper wig or on line hope for best just to have one. Try to get into wig place. All a distsnce from me. Buy scarves and where from.Im stating to stress. Any ideas please. Also im booked into a 3 day adealide cruise the weekend aftrer chemo. So 7 to 10 days after with a whole group of people who dont know i hsve cancer. Oncologist said the side effect will be worst at 7 to 10 days. Im not sure whether to go and ride it out. I.might be fine or i might be losing my hair and feeling really sick. Im sharing cabin with 3 others. Any advice would be appreciate. Im in a spin.
