One more thought on the hair issue - I don't know how much it costs, but in the waiting rrom I saw a flyer for a company that makes wigs and 'hair under hats' (I think thats like a half wig but without the top of your head covered by it hence needing a hat) that is made from your own hair. I've got no experience of these, but for women with gorgeous hair like your wife, maybe an option to consider?

Anyway, best wishes to you both.
