There are things that you can do to make the transition from hair to wig a lot easier.

One of the first things you should do when you start treatment for cancer is to cut your hair.  With shorter hair it is not as traumatic to loose small clumps of hair as it is to loose big clumps of hair.  You should try to buy a new wig before you start treatment.  It is easier to transition to a wig if you can do it slowly.
