    Some sites!
    I didn't take chemo, but, here are some websites that I found that might help!

If you are a woman or girl experiencing a loss or thinning of hair as a result of illness or treatment, they will send you a scarf in the pattern and color of your choosing. Free. Click on the "Good Wishes" logo in the upper right hand corner of the page for more information.

    OrgSites.com Wiggs for Love is a organization in memory of Mary (Spagnoli) Cron who lost her battle with breast cancer. Her family and friends have formed Wigs for Love, enabling breast cancer patients who have lost their hair due to chemo or radiation to receive a wig at no charge to them.

    TheRainbowShop.com If you're looking for a headwrap with a tie dye look, this is good option. 100% cotton and several style options.

    al-muminat.com Square cotton scarves. Small selection but good prices.

    StarScarves.com 42"x42" square. Small selection good prices.

    RadWrapz.com Solid color head wraps. only a hand full to choose from but cheap. Buy two, get one free.

    CowboyWildRags.com Generous size, square, silk scarves. Like most silk fabric, they are moderately expensive.

    Anokhiusa.com 100% cotton scarves and comes in several sizes. Decent prices for the 30"x30".


    Everyone that got a scarf thru FranceLuxe.com absolutely loved them. They were beautiful and free.

    Hats vs. wigs or both?
    I found this site the other day:
    www.hatsforyou.com

    I don't start chemo for a few weeks, and am on the fence about getting a wig. I don't think I'm going to. What have others done? How long did it take to get enough hair back that you felt comfortable with your head uncovered in public again?

    wigs
    Hi Suzanne,
    I worked all through my chemo, and I had three wigs. I sort of had fun with them. My fav was a Raquel Welch wig, you can just google her name and wigs and get the website. I ordered one from tlc but didn't like it. I started chemo in Sept of 2009, with radiation following in the spring of 2010. I didn't "come out" of my head covers until late April 2010 (lost hair after second chemo in Oct 2009). So, I guess in head covers for about 7 mo...Best wishes to you as you begin your chemo!
