When I started chemo I went and bought a wig. I must admit though I only wore it 3 times! I much pefer hats. It's so much easier to just throw on a hat and go. I have quite a selection of hats in all colors and styles. I finished 4 rounds of A/C and 4 round of Taxatore and now my hair is growing back -- very slowly -- have a lot of "peach fuzz" on my head. Can't wait to see what color it comes back.
