Reflections Of Beauty - Cancer Treatment And Self-Image
The physical changes in appearance from cancer treatments can profoundly affect a patient’s emotional well-being. Some treatments can even cause changes to a patient’s skin. This program aims to provide expertise on appearance-related side effects focusing on skincare, makeup, hair loss, and hair coverings in the hopes of helping survivors regain self-confidence and sustain a good body image.
