On doxorubicin for MBC AND sarcoma
( aren’t I lucky!!) Lost all my hair. Im so so sad. This is the second time now. I can’t find any suitable headwear. Wigs are hot and itchy.
What are you all wearing on your head?
Thanks.

Hi Hon.
Hair loss is horrible. People just don’t get it! When i had chemo for my primary diagnosis, i used Lucinda Ellery hair integration system. It was an absolute godsend. Its expensive, but worth checking out if you can stretch to it. I hope you find a solution that fits your needs.xx

Thanks all.
It is truly awful. Second time around too!
My confidence is shot to pieces and I am fed up of looking so dreadful.
It feels a constant slof of looking for “suitable” headwear right now.
The hair regeneration systems do look good, but very expensive. I think I will wait until I see what hair growth I get, once this chemo is over. If it doesn’t come back as I would like, then I will definitely be looking at it more closely.
Thanks again.
I am sorry you are having to deal with this, it is tough. I have lost my hair 10 times through chemo and consequently have tried everything to cover my bald head; wigs, long scarves, square scarves, beanies, hats and bandanas. I have ended up using the pre-tied scarves from Anna Bandana and you can also get them from Amazon. They come in several different materials and numerous colours and patterns and are not expensive. I hope this helps.
