Re: Working during Chemo?
Kim, I think it depends on you and what your work day involves. For me I work with clients and seeing me bald and in treatment would concern them and certainly effect my business, so for me it was a wig. As a matter of fact I never told any of my colleagues that I was in treatment.
They were surprised when years after treatment I shared with a few that I was dx. with bc. So it depends strongly on the situation. At home I would take the wig off wore scarfs etc or nothing.
Wishing you all the best during your treatment.
No matter what you decide you will be beautiful.
Jean
