A GROUP of friends are setting up a ‘wig bank’ to help people going through chemotherapy, as two of them battle cancer.

Lisa Roberts, 37, was diagnosed 17 months ago after noticing an indentation in a breast which she assumed had been caused by an ill-fitting bra.

Within days, the mother-of-two, from Oswaldtwistle, was told she had breast cancer and given the devastating news she also had three tumours on her spine and that the cancer was incurable.

Now, her friend Lynda Corben, who led a campaign to raise money for Lisa’s treatment, has also been diagnosed with breast cancer and also lost her hair, due to chemotherapy.

My Daughter gets her wigs on the N.H.S she had to put so much towards them..
she bought a wig which wasn't on the N.H,S, which cost £300,the N,H.S wigs was so much better, people always ask her which hairdressers she goes to

I don't understand why they are having to do this.
A member who lives in Norwich, got her wig from the NHS hospital.

I thought that too Maureen

The NHS do provide wigs, but they are not free of charge & at least £60
