I have a very rare OC called ovarian carcinoma sarcoma stage 3. Does anyone else have it?
. I’m about to have treatment 2 and I’m scared of being sick. But like someone said. They have really good drugs- which I’m fine with and grateful for - so I don’t have to suffer. I have also filled every prescription just in case I need it so I don’t have to be in pain or wait for a call back from the office.

Mywig was toohot also so I did no wear it daily. Aamzon has a section for chemotherapy help that carries caps to cover your head to keep warm.

Do what makes you comfortable, dear. Don’t worry about what people say. I’ve gone through two rounds of chemo now. During the first round, I went bald and still heard nasty things people said about me. During the second round, I wore a wig and still heard nasty comments. So, people will always have something to say.
They’re not in our shoes, and they don’t know what we’re going through. At the end of the day, we should do whatever makes us happy and comfortable. Don’t forget to live! Stay strong and happy, regardless of what others say. ❤️
We will beat this “C” intruder in our lives! 💪❤️
My Rachel made me sweat. And it was a 3k one too so I opted into no nylon on my bald head. Bamboo liners made my head sweat...i almost needed deodorant on my head. I kid you not so when I was home off it came. I think today and go boy I went all out on a Rachel too.
First of all, "The Rachel" is iconic — great choice! 🙌 And absolutely zero judgment here. Wearing what makes you feel most like *you* is completely valid, and being prepared with your prescriptions ahead of time is genuinely smart thinking.
Regarding keeping comfortable under your wig, bamboo liners are actually a popular Show Full Answer
I bought a couple wigs in the $250 range in the same style and color as my hair. No one ever knew they were wigs. However, the fronts became rather itchy . They wee never too hot (maybe the difference between natural hair and synthetic?) At home I wore chemo caps or beanies because w/o a wig, my head was cold. Two months after chemo, we took a trip to Mexico. I took the plunge and stopped wearing my wigs or caps - although I did wear a sun hat. I got compliments on my short haircut which was just about an inch long at that point.
