thank you again for your input. i did end up ordering one from the tlc catalog online. figured it is good to have. i also ordered this little lace cap that is suppose to catch your hair as it falls out so it isn't all over the bed and pillow. i here like you many b.c. patients hair grows back more grey or white than it was before. wonder why. my natural color is brunette but i highlight it and have a lighter basecolor added because of grey up front than in back but who knows, been so long since i saw my uncolored hair so probably for most of us we may seem like we grow in after chemo more grey but probably some of it is that we just don't know how really grey we were before chemo. i also heard it comes in curly and sometimes with more texture but relaxes as it grows.

Seems so silly we are talking about these things when i just read about how gravely ill one of the young moms on here is....diagnosed with a form of leukemia and is in hospital or going into hospital. made me cry so. i pray she will be okay.
