Hi everybody. Thanks for responding. Well, I still have some hair but my crown is pretty sparse now.
Attended "Look Good, Feel Better" at the Cancer Center yesterday. Just in time!!!They plopped a RED wig on me and everyone said "go for it" so I DID!! (I already had a wig in my normal silver color.)
We had company today who have not seen me since the diagnosis. Were they suprised to be greeted by a redhead!!! lol
Thank God the weather in the desert is cooling off. It had been too hot for a wig. Only in the 90s now!!!
I learned that the "Look Good..." program uses re-cycled, reconditioned wigs. So I will be able to donate mine when finished with them.
