Program helps women alleviate cancer side effects

2006-04-17 / LifeStyles

Upstate Carolina Medical Center in collaboration with the American Cancer Society will host Look Good... Feel Better on Monday, May 8, at 6 p.m. in the hospital's classroom.

This is a program for women undergoing cancer treatment and is designed to help them improve their appearance and self-image by teaching hands-on beauty techniques that overcome the appearance-related side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Licensed cosmetologists, aestheticians, and/or nail technicians volunteer their time to work with the ladies.

The program is free, but pre-registration is necessary.

For more information or to register, call the American Cancer Society toll free at 866-227-4395 by May 5. Space is limited.
