Chemo hair loss

In June 2011 I was diagnosed with a local recurrence of my Breast Cancer. It was very near the site of the tumour I found in Dec 2007. This time I had to have a mastectomy, but I was able to have a reconstruction at the same time. Although there was no sign of spread my oncologist felt, on balance, that it would be wise to have a course of chemotherpy, known as CMF. Its less toxic than the one I had before, TC, so easier to deal with.

I was told that I wouldn't lose my hair, but that it would thin. By the fourth month (of six) it was so bad I had to give in and have it all cut off. The nurses think it was because I had chemo before and my root system had been weakened. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience?

Autumn has arrived at Feelgood Scarves!

I can't remember having to take out my winter clothes so early in the Autumn!. It seems like when the children went back to school there was an Indian summer and the winter clothes looked ridiculous. Not so this year, with rain and winds sending me running for my boots!

We are introducing our new Autumn/Winter range with a combination of old favourites and some lovely new fabrics, to keep you warm and looking good.

Best selling hats for chemo patients!

Summer is well and truly here and our Summer range of chemo hats & scarves are flying out the door!

Most popular are our 'Hat and Scarf Tie' combinations with customers buying more than one scarf tie so that they can 'mix & match'.

New Hat Liner for Chemo Hats

We have noticed that sometimes our heads, without hair, can look a little small and even flat under a chemo hat. That's why we are introducing the new Feelgood Scarves Chemo Hat Liner.

It can sit invisibly under any  hat, giving you extra coverage and 'depth'.

One size fits all and it's made of soft quilted cotton with a little bit of stretch.

New range of chemo hats, turbans & scarves!

We have just launched our Spring/Summer range of turbans, scarves and hats for chemo patients. http://www.feelgoodscarves.co.uk/product-range.php

We love the new colours, strong block or delicate pastels - whatever your taste there is something for you. The fabrics are suitable for cancer patients, soft jerseys and cool cottons, with plenty of coverage to ensure they can be worn with confidence.
