Hi Kath
There are some good wig suppliers in Dublin. I used a shop called versachi in Dublin 12. Great service , very private and they give free head gear , turbans , bandanas with th wigs .
Where are you based?
Sorry to hear about your daughter. Where abouts are you based for wig shopping? There are some good online sites for scarves, annabandana.co.uk are good and have cheap headscarves. There's also a good facebook site, the younger breast cancer network. Its for women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45, it has private groups for posting and getting advice, there's an irish regional group too. If your daughter is on facebook, she can message them to join the private groups and noone outside them can see what she posts. It's a tough few months, but they fly by amazingly quickly and she'll be through it before long.
