Are you looking for Cancer Hats for Men? Are you a man losing your hair with chemotherapy treatment? or just looking for a soft breathable layer under all types of helmet and hard hats? STILL TIME FOR DELIVERY FOR FATHERS DAY!

Bold Beanies are simple soft breathable headwear for Men with Cancer Hair Loss. Silky soft, thin stretchy fabric beanie hats made with limited seams and naturally stretchy to fit snuggly on the scalp for the most comfortable fit... so comfortable you will forget you are wearing it and free to get on with your day or get a good nights sleep. They don't slip around like a scarf and provide a breathable, temperature controlling head gear which wicks away sweat too. 

Going gradually bald as a man and loosing your hair suddenly are very different things. Sudden hair loss from an illness like Alopecia or having chemotherapy treatments for cancer can leave you feeling very cold as well as feeling exposed and a lack of confidence. 

Men, like women will lose hair all over their bodies with aggressive chemotherapy. A man's face can look very different with no eyebrows and he will realise that eyelashes serve a purpose of keeping dust etc out if the eyes.

Felling comfortable and covering up is therefore very important to men as well as women with cancer. Bold Beanies come in two sizes and in an array for masculine plain colours (which can also be customised with a name or slogan of your choice) or fab Liberty Prints for men.

In case any of you missed the Guardian article by Victoria Lavin last Thursday please find the link below. An wonderful read. 

"Cancer is not a battle, hair loss does matter – and even doctors like me can’t prepare for the effects of chemotherapy".

She continues to write in the Guardian article about how her experience of having Breast Cancer will shape her future career. 

"In August 2017, during the last month of my maternity leave, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer Initially, I was plagued by memories of the young patients I had discharged home or to the hospice for end-of-life care. Thankfully they are few – but they are the ones you remember. My experience of being on the other side of the consultation desk will shape my future career and it has helped me to understand what goes on for patients. It has been an education in patience, humility and gratitude.

First, there were the well-meaning stock phrases which I had so often used: “You’re so brave; you can fight this”. Really? Yesterday I was a 34-year-old clinical oncology trainee and mum of two, and today I’m a professional cancer warrior? Cancer didn't feel like a fight to me and I won’t be asking my patients to go into battle in future.

The biggest ego-bruising revelation was learning who makes the difference. As the doctor prescribing the treatment I always felt my role was the most crucial. For the patient, however, it’s the healthcare assistant who smiles when you walk in and gets you seen on time; the volunteer who brings you a cup of tea; the complementary therapist who offers reflexology and a chat during treatment; and the nurse who gets the cannula in at the first attempt." (AMEN to that!)

"Hair loss is something we often gloss over in busy clinics. I have been guilty of simply handing over a wig leaflet as the patient walks out of the door. It matters. It changes a person’s whole identity. I worried what my children would think and that it made me look like a victim. In the end, my daughter said: “Mummy, you’ve got no hair like Grandad Pete” and carried on making her Disney princess puzzle."

Feel comfortable and more confident in a Bold Beanie... made by someone who understands how it feels to lose your hair with Chemotherapy. 

Well its been a month now since I finished taking Tamoxifen as a Breast Cancer preventative drug. I was prescribed it for 10 years since I completed my surgery (mastectomies) and treatments (Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy) for stage 3 advanced Breast Cancer aged 31 (pre-menopausal).

I'm happy to report I think I feel the fatigue lifting slightly! I'm a busy person, so always tired, however that really intense feeling of exhaustion and tiredness I think is getting better!

I am struggling to sleep some nights without pain killers though because the body aches that I experienced when I first started taking the drug are definitely back! 

A doctor friend explained that body joint aches are common when women go through the menopause because of the shift in hormones... so this makes sense to me as Tamoxifen is a hormone medication. Hopefully this will pass quickly. Some days I feel like I've been beaten up or fallen down the stairs or something. The arthritic type pain is worse in my hands.

My skin is in withdrawal. I've broken out in spots which tend to come and go... worse with my period which have continued. Some are quite large and painful and seems to be nothing more than painful red lumps.
