Pancreatic Cancer Patient Wig Resources

Hair loss is a possible side effect for patients in chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer. However, not all therapies cause hair loss. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), alopecia from chemotherapy is usually reversible. There are a wide range of options for managing hair loss, how to cope emotionally, and how to approach aftercare when your hair resumes growth. For those experiencing hair loss and the complex emotions that accompany it, you are not alone. To help ease patients through this transition, the Hirshberg Foundation is sharing some important resources to address this side effect. We also encourage you to share your concerns with your healthcare team to determine the best choice for you.
