My mom has cancer and has to have chemo. she will lose her hair. what is a really good brand of wig i could get her?

Ask her oncologist: Most oncology offices have well trained nurses who can guide you. American cancer society(acs) can also help you and guide you. Call your local chapter of acs as they are very helpful and will send your literature about hair pieces/wigs.
