Brave Louise McSharry goes wig shopping as she starts chemotherapy

2FM star Louise McSharry has started shopping for wigs as she starts undergoing chemotherapy.

The radio presenter was diagnosed with lymphomia, which is cancer of the white blood cells.

“Yesterday, I bought a wig. Am now convinced my hair will remain on my head to spite me and the hundreds of euro,” she wrote on Twitter.

Tough going: Louise has already started chemo

The radio host revealed her first session of chemo was extremely difficult.

“Had my first day of chemo. It was fine while I was there but awful once I left,” she explained.

“Felt horrendous straight away, and then really hard done by because everything I’d read said you’d feel ok on day 1. Ended up in A&E.”

“Cried, felt sorry for myself, realised I’d been very blasé about all this. Got checked out and sent home, slept, feel better this morning,” she wrote on Twitter.

Brave: Louise is battling cancer at just 31

Louise, 31, added that she was finding it difficult to sleep in, despite needing to nap every day.

She said: “Despite the fact that I’m really tired and need to nap at least once a day, I have woken up before 8am every day since my diagnosis. CRUEL.”

But the radio star is keeping upbeat, and shared a snap of a Dolly Parton t-shirt, writing: “Bringing the spirit of Dolly Parton with me for my first encounter with Chemo.”
