Anyone Using Wig ALL the time?

Hello,

This is my first post on the forum, I am from Costa Rica, 32 newly diagnosed (Right 2,1cm Grade 3, 3/10 nodes, ER+, PR+, HER-). I had a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction 12 days ago and recovery from surgery is going good. However, I am most scared about starting chemo in about a month particularly (of course) because of hair loss. I was looking at options and found that you can actually wear a high quality lace front wig but several weeks at a time without taking it off. I feel like doing this would minimize the psychological impact of going bald. I also have worn extensions for the last several years so the change of using a full wig would not be as noticeable. My plan would be to have the wig installed by a professional and have it removed and reattached every 2 weeks or so. Anyways I am looking for experiences from other ladies that wear their wigs extensively (including to bed) as opposed to only to leave the house.

Thanks and love to all,
