Wow that is cheap! Do you mind me asking what website you got it from? I might treat myself to a new one! Thank you for saying you couldn’t tell it is a wig, I was at a party last night and nobody believed me when I told them, thought I was going to have to whip it off to prove it!

I have three of the Rene Amore/ Rene range wigs and they have been fantastic. My main one is so natural that people keep complimenting me on my new hairdo and are totally unaware that it’s not my own hair. With my hair growing back curly and greyish under it, I’m not giving up wigs any time soon!

I went to a wig shop called suzis today in lakeside, i had a really great time and im sure its not really meant to be that much fun!
ive had my hair dark now for about 4/5 years and was always blonde before that. And today ive walked out of the wig shop with not only one but two blonde wigs lol ( OH insisted on buying both, he was trying to get 3 bless him).
Now all ive got to do is gain confidence with it, as i wore it to asda and felt like everyone thought i was wearing a wig but it doesnt look like a wig at all…according to mum,OH and few people in shop. But i felt so self concious, but love the blondeness of it all!
hope you are all feeling ok and looking forward to hearing from you all

Wineoclock we talk again!
I brought mine in Suzi’s Lakeside and they were fab. Did you see the Elvis wig…Cruella Deville?
I’m laughing at your comment about the hospital hairdressers…Darent Valley? I tried one on there and looked liked Rita from Corrie. The alternative was Angela Rippon
Not sure if you have already but remember to use your NHS Voucher still. I got a few little sleep hats, wig shampoo accessories etc from the hospital shop. You just need to ask. Felt great walking out with free stuff and they were ever so kind.
I was extremely paranoid at first about wearing a wig. I didn’t want to look wiggy if that makes sense? However I’ve had loads of comments on how natural it looks and, although sometimes I think people are being kind, I’m no longer paranoid and worried about it blowing away in the school playground. Have fun blondie!
Sorry one more tip…I initially used mine with a liner but ditched that. When my hair started to fall out, I shaved my head, lost the liner and the wig not only fitted better but felt more secure.

yup Darenth - what a waste of space that is lol!
Is that where you are having your treatment?
Im going for my new patient assesment thingy on the 4th, no idea what to expect!
Tell you all a very amusing story - i did laugh! In suzis today, when i came out of my little cubicle sporting the new blonde me, 2 women that had been in the cubicle next door were saying how great it looked and wow, bla bla, and then one of them said this…ohhh that looks lovely i really like it. It looks much better than the dark one you came in??? eh i thought? i never had a wig on when i arrived! OH wet himself laughing in the back ground- that comment was right up his street and i politely said to her oh, thats not a wig! lol…i had to stop myself from bursting into hysterical giggles. i thought it was really very funny, im sure the poor woman felt awful and has probably also had lots of giggles telling the story. Ill probably be telling it for years!

That is funny!
Good luck tomorrow with your patient assessment. If it’s in the Pine Therapy Unit it will be meeting the sister and going through your treatment programme, answering any questions you may have and showing you around the ward.
I’m there again tomorrow for line care 3.45pm (I have a hickman line fitted due to poor veins). Whomever you meet tomorrow will be lovely and supportive.

Hiya twinkletwinkle
Thanks for your support. Unfortunately i cried as soon as got there lol, i lost the plot and couldnt seem to get a grip! how humiliating lol
They are filling a picc line on mon morning as ive got bad veins too! grr
whats the difference between hickman and a picc?
I think my emotional outburst was because me and OH had a bit of a row and cos im such a stubborn cow i went on my own…which when i was feeling all brave was an ok idea but when i got there it so wasnt!
Not going alone again and he’ll be right by my side.
I seem to be getting a bit more stroppy the nearer im getting to my dates - and OH seems to be my target when im in that mood. But hes been so wonderful and supportive 
and i love him so much, i must chill out on the bitch strops! lol
hope youre ok and everyone else here too…and that everyones getting their wigs organised…ive changed my pic to wig pic lol. i couldnt resist it
take care all xxx
I had two Raquel Welch wigs, but only wore one of them. It was monofilament, I recall. I wore a stretchy headband inside it to make it grip better. My advice would be to choose one thats the same as the hairstyle youve always had, and youll feel more normal, and unobservant people wont even notice you`re wearing one. For instance, I normally have dodgy highlights and so did my wig!
Evening ladies
Well my treatment starts at 9.15 tomorrow - god I hope I sail thru it and I’m
Ok!
Wigs ready, house clean, nails painted black and ice poles in the freezer. Have I forgotten anything I wonder? I hope not.
Hopefully I’ll be back on with good news that’s not as bad as I thought
Take care and good luck to the rest if you

Wineoclock, nice name, just having a look through the posts after going on my usual ones, and I love your name, just thought I would tell you that but most importantly, good luck for your first treatment, sending you all cyber hugs. I did the same as you, painted nails black, had ice at the ready etc, I have FEC T, and lost my hair after 2nd chemo but had and still use my fantastic wig. They all come with names where I got mine from, and mine is called Lola and it is so much like my own hair, I love it. Though 2011 was a difficult year for me as had my treatment, I have to say that it was also a year of alot of good non BC related things happening and on this fab website I made some fabulous friends, Good luck to you all and lots of tlc and cyber hugs.
