To anyone reading this,

My mother had her first cycle of chemotherapy starting 3 weeks ago. Tomorrow she begins the second cycle. 

Over the past week, mum has started to lose her hair in large amount. She had thin hair to begin with so it's only a matter of time before it shows.

Going forward mum will be having her chemotherapy treatment with the hospital's mobile unit, rather than at the hospital where the different members of the cancer team are. I'm guessing this is due to the Coronavirus outbreak, but I am just guessing. I digress. 

Mum has been thinking about getting a wig and I had been hoping she would get to speak to her Breast Cancer nurse or appropriate member of the team about getting one. I don't know if this is still possible, is anyone else going through this dilemma at the moment?

I was thinking of buying mum a wig online but I don't know what I'm looking for really. I don't want to end up buying her a party wig. 

Should the wig be made of a certain material?

Do I need to buy anything for underneath?

These may be silly questions but I've never actually encountered a proper wig.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Thank you
