Breast Cancer Tip: Hair Loss Help

If you're going to have chemotherapy, you may want to cut your hair short beforehand. That way, there will be less hair to lose, and the process may seem less traumatic. If you're planning to buy a wig, it's best to do so before you begin treatment so the wigmaker can match it to your current hair color and style. Some insurance plans cover the cost of wigs, but if yours doesn't, contact local organizations or support groups for assistance.
