“My Hair Reminds Me That I Beat Cancer”

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.

·        Altretamine (Hexalen)

The Movember Foundation

When our razors look brand new for weeks and our shaving cream cans collect dust in our bathrooms, it can only mean one thing, it’s “Movember.” Since 2003, the Movember Foundation has been committed to raising awareness and funds for men’s health.

From 30 guys back in 2003 to the 5 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas there are today. The movember foundation has raised over $650 million dollars and funded over 1,000 programs that focus on some of the biggest health issues faced by men such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

1. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in the US.
2. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15-34 in the US.
3. Around 1 in 4 adults in the US will experience a mental health problem in a given year.
4. Around half (53.8%) of American men meet the federal guidelines for physical activity.

To tackle these issues the movember foundation has established their Global Action Plan (GAP), which connects clinicians and researchers from around the world to accelerate health outcomes for men living with prostate and testicular cancer. In 2013, they invested in mental health programs by partnering with the US to develop and implement actionable, community-level prevention plans to improve mental health for men and boys. By 2015 men’s physical health became their newest focus and they began investing in initiatives that encourage physical activity and raises awareness on the dangers of physical inactivity.

As movember approaches decide how you want to help men live happier, healthier, longer lives. Make your move by taking this year’s MOVE challenge or make a statement with your mustache. No matter what you choose to do remember that the movember foundation wouldn’t be where it is without the enthusiasm of all you.

Just like the millions of people helped by the Movember Foundation, New England Associates has been helping people look and feel their best since 1982. At NEA, you will find every successful method that effectively stops hair loss and repairs, replaces, restores or re-grows lost hair.
