Look Good, Feel Better

When i was going through Chemotherapy i had no help what so ever in looking like a woman, if that makes sense. Other friends from around the country mentioned about going and having their nails done, having makeup put on by proffesionals and even having fun trying wigs on.

It seems now i'm hearing of allsorts of places i could have actually gone and felt like a woman again instead of looking butch!!

Anyway, i felt i'd like to share this website i discovered today, we go through so much having Cancer and deserve to be pampered.. just wish i'd have known about it 2 years ago.

    Bah that sucks. it's brilliant. I was offered it through 'Force', our local cancer support centre. They are amazing, and find every little thing that could help you. I am still having free treatments [massage, aromatherapy etc] at the Force centre now. And Andrew is also entitled to the treatments, as the 'carer' [poor bugger!]. We can have them for up to a year after the final chemo.

    I wish you'd have been offered this kind of thing - as they say in the ad: You deserve it!

    One thing though - you look great now! :o)

    Tracey, that is so great that you posted the link. I am finding myself feeling increasingly more and more frustrated with the lack of information we, as patients, receive. Our cancer centre offers a look good, feel better session, but there are so many things out there that no one communicates to us. I am on a mission to change that! Don't have a clue where to begin, but I am on a mission ;) (want to join me?)

    When I was first diagnosed, I went to a Look Good, Feel Good ... slightly different name ... at our Cancer Institute. I got a whole bag of make up and some head gear.

    Yes highly recommend this ... made me feel a little more feminine.

    Hi Tracey. Great site, by the way and thanks for looking at mine! In Canada we have these Look Good Feel Better programs, too. I attended one three days before my hair fell out after my first chemo. I was having a hard time anticipating that, so I walked into the room depressed and on the verge of tears. By the time I left two hours later, I was laughing, had heard some super stories, decided I looked a twit in a wig and walked out of there looking and feeling a lot better! I would highly recommend these sessions. I came home with about $300 worth of product, too, which was a nice surprise! x
