Wigs For Cancer Survivors in Colombia

BOGOTA - COLOMBIA, NOVEMBER 29: A person trying different options at the bank of wigs at the AMESE Foundation who help victims with cancer to find an opportunity at the essential in dealing with cancer, hairdressers and patients are realising that wigs can address the psychological effects of hair loss in Bogota, Colombia on November 29, 2017. For many women undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, it's not just a question of vanity. "Our hair is our crowning glory," "Losing it is such a life-changing and distressing experience. It was about losing my identity and femininity." Wearing a wig during and after a course of chemo or radiotherapy is not necessarily a physically comfortable solution. A wig is a bit like a hat. It sits on your head and on a hot day you are going to sweat. The most important thing is that it has to be secure, otherwise it can irritate the scalp and leave a mark on your hairline if it is too tight. For some people, chemo can also make the scalp very sensitive. "If a lady loses her hair, you've just lost half the lady. She loses her femininity, her confidence, her self-esteem. It's more than just a disease, it has a damaging psychological effect," And they are some women now who would refuse treatment for their terminal cancer rather than lose their hair.
