Can anyone use these?
I really appreciate their thoughtfulness. However, some of them don't fit (I have a very small head), and some just aren't my style.
If anyone would like one or more of these, please message me your name/address and I will gladly send them to you. They are all new.
I have a Kangol brand "bucket" hat, black, size large/x large. This is a nice and quite expensive hat. It retails for $47.00. Here is a link to a photo:

I have several scarves....
A dark brown "silky" scarf, a lime green scarf (also silky), and a heavy cotton animal print (giraffe, maybe?) scarf. The last one is very long and quite wide, with fringe on the ends. It looks big enough to be used as a shoulder wrap. I never got the hang of scarf-tying and prefer a wig or cap/hat.
I have a knit cap made out of eyelash yarn. It looks like the one in this link, except it is red. I think it's cute, but it's too big for me. I would call it a size large.

Maybe leave them at the chemo lounge?
Several times I've seen stacks on cute hats at the chemo lounge with a sign "Free to a good home" from women who have graduated from baldness. That might be a good option.0 -
mom could use red one
Carlene,
Your a doll, so cute and so smart. What a combination. My mom could probably use the red one (her fave color) if its still left.

Vicki....please send me your name and address via PM - or your mom's name and address - wherever you'd like me to send the hat.

PS.....I wish my infusion center had a spot to "donate" these things. It would be a great idea.0 -
thanks
Thanks, Carlene for offering. I too have a small head, but have bben thankful to keep my hair this time around (thinner and whiter)!!
My new oncologist said my next treatment (guess he is looking ahead) and I said IF I have a next treatment would be Doxil and I would lose my hair again.
I really like scarves more than wigs (or just bald) and those you can fix to fit any size head!!
Right now I know of 2 women in my area undergoing chemo and one of them I gave some of my things to her as she is small headed also.
Thanks,

I had 5 infusions of Doxil and did not lose the hair on my head or face. Oddly, the hair on my legs is very sparse.0 -

Wonder why they told me I'd lose my hair on Doxil? Again, different doctors, different doses, different age, weight, height??
This time around on gem/cis(carbo) I kept my hair (somewhat thinner), but none under my arms! Go figure!0
