Hospital to Offer Cancer Program for Women
Prepared by: Steve Wong Upstate Carolina Medical Center Marketing Phone 864-487-1515 Cancer may take away a woman’s energy or appetite, but it does not have to take away her self-confidence. The American Cancer Society’s Look Good… Feel Better program is a free, community-based, hands-on, group workshop offered in Gaffney, dedicated to helping women cancer patients cope with and combat the appearance-related side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The next Look Good… Feel Better program will be at Upstate Carolina Medical Center on Monday, May 14, 6-8 p.m. Volunteer cosmetologist, Tavette Easler, leads the program that includes a 12-step skin care and makeup program as well as demonstrations on hair/wig techniques to help restore a positive self-image. Each participant receives a free gift kit of full size name-brand cosmetics for use during and after the workshop. A self-help video is also available for women who cannot attend the program. This program is a partnership between the American Cancer Society, the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association Foundation and the National Cosmetology Association and is co-sponsored by Upstate Carolina Medical Center. To register for the session please contact your American Cancer Society toll-free at 1-877-356-2116. You must register to attend.
