Patrice Aminati Begins Wearing Wigs as Hair Loss Starts During Cancer Treatment

She is undergoing palliative care for stage‑4 melanoma, sharing her journey on Instagram.

Overview

  • Aminati posted new videos on Oct. 19 from a Düsseldorf wig studio as she begins to experience hair loss, trying several styles and showing a bald patch.
  • She explained that she does not want to look in the mirror and see a cancer patient and said she wants to feel beautiful and sexy.
  • Her caption described a shift from a reluctant “it has to be” to an enthusiastic “it can and may be,” framing wigs as a positive choice.
  • The presenter remains in palliative treatment for incurable stage‑4 malignant melanoma, receiving immunotherapy by tablets and infusions alongside targeted brain radiations.
  • Earlier this month she said she had completed her last radiotherapy and has been easing back into daily life and work, including filming a QVC segment after four weeks away.
