For a person facing cancer, LGFB is so helpful. I remember how crucial it was for me to be around positive people when hope was so low. Now, as a volunteer, I have a chance to offer positive energy and knowledge about how to empower yourself. For a woman facing cancer, it is so helpful and truly mind-strengthening.”

This support can have an enormous benefit on a sense of well-being. Being able to do something very tangible (like a LGFB workshop) that helps someone recover a sense of their own identity can have an enormous benefit on their sense of well-being and comfort with oneself and in the world. It takes one thing off the table when there are so many other fears that person might be facing.”

It was nice to feel like me again. My mom told me about the Look Good Feel Better workshop and I was pretty unsure at first. The makeup, the wigs? I didn’t think it was for me; maybe I didn’t want to face it all, but I decided to give it a try. Right away, I just felt really welcome. There were teens just like me, going through the same types of things that I am. I was surprised at how good it made me feel. In some ways, it helped me face my fear and the reality of what I’ve been going through. It was nice to feel like me again.”

I didn’t expect issues with my skin and scalp. Before treatment, I was worried about hair loss. I didn’t expect that issues with skin on my face and scalp would be the most challenging chemo side effect. The advice in this workshop helped.”
