Victoria Derbyshire breast cancer diary part 3: Hair loss
Victoria has begun losing her hair as a side effect of chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, and has decided to reveal she is now wearing a wig.
She says losing her hair has been "the thing that has affected me the most, more than a mastectomy."
Victoria has three chemotherapy sessions and a series of radiotherapy sessions remaining before her treatment concludes in the spring. She expects more hair loss to occur, and has begun to lose parts of her eyebrows.
She remains positive however, knowing that hair loss is almost always temporary, with hair growing back after treatment ends.
