Hair replacement options for a woman battling cancer?
i have recently been switched to another chemo drug and after years of treatment, i think this one will do the job of completely obliterating most or all the hair on my head.
since i don’t want to live the rest of my life bald, i’ve been reading about medical hair replacement:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/hair-loss/index.html
my question is, has anyone else gone through the same or can offer constructive advice on what steps i can take? approx. cost comparison re. each type of treatment and which one seems to work the best w/ the most minimal bothersome effects?
only serious answers, please. after going through bald again, hair again – i can’t take any more yo-yoing and being bald forever using bothersome wigs and hats are no longer a viable option.
thank you.
Cancer is a horrible thing, I’m sorry for you!
You can use a wig, there are beautiful wigs out there:

They look almost real, don’t you think?
Hope you get better soon!
