Health Tip: Preparing for a Wig During Cancer Treatment


(HealthDay News) -- If you're coping with hair loss during cancer treatment, you may be considering a wig.

To prepare for a wig during cancer treatment, Breastcancer.org suggests:

  • Find pictures of your preferred color, length and style.
  • Cut your hair short.
  • Look online, at a wig shop or through a charity program.
  • Call your health insurance company. It may cover the cost of a wig.
  • If your treatment hasn't started, consider searching for a wig ahead of time.
