Time to collect my wig

19th June
Not at work today as have my heart scan to check everything is okay for the chemo regime.

After the scan I went to see Sarah to collect my wig.

The first wig I set eyes on looks like my natural curly hair but when I try it on I end up in floods of tears as I don't look like me and I really don't want to wear one.

Sarah tries to reassure me that they look good and only feel strange at the moment because I have my own hair, she advises me well on the type of scalp and material etc and I am very grateful but just feel so upset!

I can't decide between two wigs so I get one from the NHS and my aunt kindly buys me one.

20th June.
Woke up with tingling in my scalp, is this the start of my hair dropping out?

21st June
Can't believe the pain in my scalp, it hurts to put my head on the pillow.
