Scared of losing my hair!

Hi duno where to start really I'm 32 and just got diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, and I will be starting chemo in about 3 weeks time, I know it sounds really stupid but I'm so scared of losing my hair, I know you can use cold caps, but I would just like some advice on wigs that you can't tell are wigs, and where to look for them? My hair is nearly to the bottom of my back and it's one of my favourite features, I know it sounds so superficial but I can't imagine not having my hair. 

Thank you for reading. 

Sending love to all xx

  • Hiya, I am having chemo for triple negative breast cancer and I am using the cold cap. It is certainly working for me, you do lose hair but I am very pleased as I have retained my hair. I was given such great advice by the nurses on how to look after my hair on a daily basis and I make sure I follow what they told me. The first 10 minutes is the hardest but after that it is fine. I find something to take my mind off what is happening. I would say to try it if you can.
