Hi Tina: I am so sorry that you & your family are experiencing this during the holidays. I just wanted to mention that wigs are an option. My step-sister had ovarian cancer at a relatively young age (50) and her greatest fear was that her granddaughter would see her w/out hair (the rest of us were more afraid of the cancer). She immediately went out & bought a wig. I came to realize that her concern w/looks is a sign of wanting to live - it indicates a vitality/love of life. She was planning on being around and wanted to look the same. Secondly, not everybody has bad burn scars. And there are lotions/creams mentioned on this message board that help.

This is an awful time for you right now but hang in there! Take care of yourself, too. - Candace
