Yes - thats very good advice from JL Monkman. I was given a very nice free wig by the Cancer society. Its been so long ago I think it was thru the hospitals Breast Cancer support group. A person actually brought a number of wigs to my house and let me choose one in case I needed it. In the end I didnt as I chose to take Tamoxifen as opposed to chemotherapy.
