Look Good...Feel Better
The Latest Cancer Treatments Aren’t Always Prescribed by Doctors

Jennersville Regional Hospital will present Look Good...Feel Better, an American Cancer Society program that teaches beauty techniques to women who are actively undergoing cancer treatment, on Wednesday, October 14 at 3 p.m. in the Hospital’s Conference Room D.  This free, one-session program helps attendees combat the appearance-related side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. 

“The concept behind the program is that women most often feel better about themselves when they’ve overcome some of the physical obstacles they encounter during cancer treatment,” explains Ellen Musser, RN, MS, Jennersville Regional Hospital Cancer Program.  “By giving them some tips and skills to deal with these unwanted changes, they feel more confident during what has been a very difficult period in their life.  I’ve seen women’s self-esteem improve because they’ve learned several cosmetic techniques that help overcome some of the physical changes they’re experiencing.”                                                                                                      

During the program each woman practices techniques using products donated by the cosmetics industry through partnerships the American Cancer Society has developed with the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA) and the National Cosmetology Association.  The one-session class is taught by a licensed cosmetologist who has been specially trained to assist those coping with cancer treatment.
