Cancer can rob a woman of her energy, appetite and strength. But it doesn’t have to take away her self-confidence.

Look Good Feel Better is a non-medical, brand-neutral public service program that teaches beauty techniques to cancer patients to help them manage the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment.

Look Good Feel Better group programs are open to all women with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or other forms of treatment. In the United States alone, more than 900,000 women have participated in the program, which now offers 15,400 group workshops nationwide in more than 2,500 locations.

Thousands of volunteer beauty professionals support Look Good Feel Better. All are trained and certified by the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the Professional Beauty Association at local, statewide, and national workshops. Other volunteer health care professionals and individuals also give their time to the program.

The program is free to participants, but registration is required by calling the American Cancer Society; 1-800-227-2345.  Sessions will be held at Oaklawn Oncology Clinic, Wright Medical Building, 215 E. Mansion St., Suite 1B, Marshall, MI .  For additional information, contact Julie Hammon, Oaklawn Oncology Nurse Navigator: (269) 789-3940 or  jhammon@oaklawnhospital.com
