And cut my hair?
Ive had long, straight hair for 50 years. With chemo, I imagine it will all fall out. I dont much care, but I dont want to deal with the mess.
Im feeling weak and dont want to have to go out in search of a beautician.
Thanks

(12,837 posts)Lots of beauticians do home visits. Also maybe if you have a senior center they might know someone.
That's how I found someone to come out for my Mom. They did the whole treatment, haircut, and manicure.
Good luck.

I hope it is helpful info.
