Hair loss Support
Hair loss is one of the most well known side effects of cancer treatment and many people find hair loss the hardest part of going through cancer treatment because it's such a visible sign of the illness.
MacMillan Cancer Support have a section on their website that covers cancer hair loss and offers suggestions for emotional and practical support. They have also put together a very comprehensive booklet called 'Coping with hair loss' which covers all aspects of cancer hair loss which can be downloaded or ordered via their website.
