Hi,

This is my first time here and I'm just looking for some advice from people's own experiences.

My mum has recently been diagnosed and is understandably upset so I’m just trying to do what I can to help. She’s really into hair/makeup/nails etc and is also upset about the unknown effects treatment will have on her appearance. So what I’m trying to do is put together a little beauty guide for her so she knows what to expect from head to toe and what treatments or products she can use to help her be a little more comfortable and feel more like herself throughout - literally covering everything from skincare and makeup down to hairbrushes, toothbrushes, wigs and whether there are any particular scarves/head wraps/hats that are recommended to help keep cool in the summer/warm in the winter without irritating the scalp. 
 

Obviously I know nothing about this and I'm sure there are so many things that are affected that haven't even crossed my mind, and I obviously have no idea how she's going to feel, so I’m just looking for people to help me who have been through or are going through it and can highlight the changes they felt they had and any tips and tricks to help cope with it or make it as comfortable as possible 

Any help or advice would be so greatly appreciated
 

Thanks so much
