Dealing with Hair Loss


Hair loss is often a side effect of cancer treatment. At UVa Cancer Center, we have "Ramona's Room", a special room where patients who suffer hair loss during treatment may obtain head coverings, such as hats and scarves at no cost and freshly styled wigs on loan for as long as necessary.

The lady in the picture is actually wearing a wig...can you tell?  It's called a headband wig, and it's available at Headcovers Unlimited. Use these links to find other regional and online sources for wigs, turbans, hats, & prosthesis.
