@bluesatsuma that looks great. You should wear it with confidence.
One of my wig options is a cheapy one from Amazon. Its pink and really quite badly made (what do you expect for Ā£12!) but as it is obviously not pretending to be proper hair i can get away with it. Its my go to cheer me up wig.

Hi @sievehead I like the colour and if you canāt wear something different now, when can you?! Looks good on you and probably because I donāt know your normal look it appears quite normal, so I say enjoy it!

@dhmb Iām loving embracing all my different hair options - no one knows who they are going to get from one day to the next!
Here are some of my looks - excuse the funny faces I pull, Iām not good at posing for the camera!
I hope some of the following inspire some of you to be a bit braver with your hair/headwear options. Xx

My wig on a good day. Much like my normal hair but better. Trouble is I sometimes have trouble with it slipping but depends on how I get it fitted on. Quite fancy a purple or pinky one now but am leaning more to scarves and turbans at the moment, depends what weāre doingā¦

@anne3 that looks fab - so natural. Have you tried wearing a wig band to secure it a bit more? I bought one of these from Etsy wich helps. Only Ā£2.99 inc p&p so at that price could be worth a try? https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1250245186/variety-colours-velvet-wig-grip-hold-wig?ref=yr_purchases

@sievehead. I like them all! Cap with plaits is quite appealing but would I forget and try to take the hat off ?! Amazing how different each one makes you look too.
Great having a different look all the time - Iām probably quite boring normally so think this experience will perk me up a bit even just with scarves and headbands
My favourite turban with added fringe - excuse the nails - I was demonstrating Iād actually painted them as I never normally do!

Im a big fan of the fringes. Looks great. I think if you had a fringe before you lost your hair adding in this option doesnt make us look like a chemo patient!
Enjoy your experimentation. Xx

Itās amazing to see how the different wigs make your appearance change @sievehead and it true: If you canāt experiment now when can you?

Loving all the wig pics ladies! Nice to put names tp faces too @sievehead and @anne3 . They all look great. My purple wig may get an outing to a couple of gigs soon. But fir now im just happiest in a hat. 2 days from 3rd EC and i feel rough today. Boys are at rugby till 2 and daughter is at stables all day so just going to enjoy the quiet time. I did quite a lot yesterday, slept badly and woken up with the steroid red face.
Just wanted to ask @bigpickleā¦is it you who starts docetaxel on 14th? Iām just wondering what premeds theyāve given you? Iāve got 3 days of steroids for before and 2 weaker anti sickness for the day of first docetaxel. They said the anti sickness tablet i had for EC was overkill for docetaxel. X

Iām also feeling awful after my first ec. Just the headscarf today as feel so sick and dizzy. Had a different anti sickness from paclitaxel but never really felt sick on that. 
. Hoping this will gradually improve as hate being out of action! Take care all xx

Hi bluesatsuma
Yep, I am due my first docetaxel on 14 October. I was given some steroids, which I have to take 4 12 hours before treatmentā¦so 9:45 pmā¦no sleep for me 
, take another 4 3 hours before treatment and another 4 1 hour before treatment, then 4 twice a day for the 2 days after. Thatās a lot of steroids. I havenāt been given any anti sickness but my chemo nurse did say I would have anti sickness via picc before chemo infusion and that docetaxel doesnāt cause as much nausea as EC.

@anne3 hang in there lovely, it gets better. My fiest EC was by far the worst. Different cycles broight up different side effects but nothing that wasnāt manageable, worst bit was actually lack of sleep. Sleep when you can and if stuff doesnāt get done it doesnāt, you come first, remember to be kind to yourself thatās the most important bit and i put my hans up i kinda did forgetā¦
Hugs xx

@dhmb. aw thank you so much, youāre so kind. Made me cry - another side effect I think being so emotional 
. Lovely to have you all out there as itās so hard to explain how you feelā¦ having a quiet day doing cross stitch and drinking ginger cordial.
Hoping youāre feeling ok today, not long till yr appt at least now.
Look after yourself in the meantime!
