Just imagine
what those words would sound like if you heard them. “You have cancer.” Quite devastating. And the first thought in your mind is not
going to be “am I going to lose my hair”?
Yet, unfortunately some treatments and chemotherapy drugs may result in
hair loss.
If you are
going to have Chemotherapy, two ways to help gain control of the appearance of
your hair is:
1. Be aware of the drugs that may result
in your hair loss and
2. Be proactive BEFORE your hair loss
begins.
Below is a list of
Chemotherapy drugs as listed on www.Cancer.net which are known to cause hair loss.
Not all drugs do, so educating yourself is the first step. If your drug is on this list or on their
site, you can take steps ahead of time to help your appearance.
The first thing you
can do is call New England Associates.
We have been an ally to many women who have battled cancer and want to
look and feel their best during this difficult time. If we evaluate you BEFORE your hair loss,
then we can create a custom hair replacement that will look and feel very close
to your own hair. Some clients even say
it’s better than their own hair! And as
Tammy, pictured above said, “It’s not a wig, it’s my own hair!”
So first, educate
yourself. Then, contact New England Associates.
A free consultation will allow us to help you transitions easily from
your hair to your new hair until the hair that you lose grows back.
