When I was informed that my hair would start falling out in two weeks after I started
my chemo treatments, I knew I needed to get a few wigs. In my area, we are very
limited to shops we could go to buy them. So I started checking around and found a
company that does mail order. The catalogs are shipped quickly to you, the styles
are very modern and they have a great selection to choose from. I recommend that
you pick a hair style you like, take the catalog to your hair cutter and ask her to
cut/style your hair to match the wig you are ordering. That way, when your hair starts
to fall out, you can easily put on your wig and no one will know the difference! I was
so pleased with the quality of the wigs I bought, that I ordered several. And I
received so many compliments on the "Way I cut my hair" that it really boosted my
moral. No one knew it was a wig!

If you've been informed that your chemo treatment will cause you to lose your hair, then you
can expect to lose your eyebrows and eyelashes too. I found a great site for them.
Headcovers unlimited has some of the best looking eyelashes available. Don't purchase any
packages of individual lashes. They need to be attached onto existing lashes and you won't
be able to do that. You need to get the lashes that have the strip already attached to them.
Here you'll find them with a clear strip to make them look more natural. They also carry
eyebrows.

Your skin is going to take a beating whether you have chemo or radiation. Your going to have
to use a rich skin cream just to help retain some moisture and prevent your skin from
sagging. This will be even more noticeable should you lose weight. Look for creams that are
blended with antioxidants and natural extracts that will revitalize your skin leaving you feeling
wonderful and healthy.
