Look Good...Feel Better
A makeover for the spirit
Cancer can change your appearance, but it can't take away your spirit. Look Good...Feel Better is a free program that helps women look their best during cancer treatment. At Look Gook...Feel Better sessions, experienced cosmetologists teach cancer patients beauty tips to help minimize the appearance-related side effects of chemotherapyand radiation. Good makeup application and a wig or turban can bring back your former appearance or create an entirely new one. In looking better, you'll experience renewed self-confidence and self-esteem. It's like a makeover for the spirit. And that's a beautiful thing.
