Reportage on Wigs For Cancer Patients

Have you ever wondered how cancer patients feel the very first time their doctor reveals that they are diagnosed with cancer and they have to undergo several treatments and chemotherapy? Accepting the reality is I believe to be the most difficult challenge. This is exactly what Cynthia Mulligan, a Canadian CityTV news anchor, has experienced April 2010, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She announced it publicly in May 2010 and reported about her experiences in fighting cancer through television and blogs. She, like any other cancer patients, feels the fear, confusion, and shock after learning the bad news. In a report she covered for City TV news, she featured how she had started dealing with cancer. First stop is the wig shop.

May I quote the words she said, “It’s not vanity. This is a whole mental battle. But if you look vulnerable and feel sick, then you will. I want to look and feel powerful.” Words like that from a person suffering from cancer are motivating. It doesn’t mean that if you are suffering from cancer, you should look and feel sick. As we all know, undergoing chemotheraphy to treat cancer has this side effect of losing hair. But fortunately there is great variety of quality wigs available on the market, so you can prepare yourself and still be confident on the day your hair would fall off. Wigs vary in colors, length, and style – there are many to choose from. You can create a different look, or just copy the same hair as yours, so you won’t worry that you’ll look different. Anyway, it is highly recommended to all persons concerned to watch this reportage portraying the experience of Cynthia Mulligan. This reportage will give you some basic informations on this subject, no matter if you are going to choose a synthetic wig or a real hair wig.
