I buzzed my hair down to 1 inch on the 12th day in preparation for the "fall-out"; which happened exactly the 16th day after my first treatment. I bought several nice hats and put them over nice scarves that I tied on my head. For me, the scarves really helped in keeping the hat fitting better. Liz Claiborne makes really nice square scarves. My wig was so itchy, and although not cheap, I found that when I laughed or frowned, the darn thing would "ride up".
Have fun with your conference. I too, remained working throughout my chemo and did surprisingly well.
Warmly,
mts
