Bringing inspiration and tips for women living with cancer, the American Cancer Society's Look Good... Feel Better program arrives in Worcester May 13th.

The Worcester Public Library will host the American Cancer Society’s Look Good . . . Feel Better program from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m., Monday, May 13.

Look Good . . . Feel Better is a free program that teaches cancer patients hands-on cosmetic techniques to help them cope with appearance-related side effects from chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments. Wig care, scarf and hat use, skin care, and nail care will all be discussed, and all participants will receive a free makeup kit. Participants should register at least one week before the session. To register, call Francisca Turkson at 508-270-4632.

Trained pros with helpful advice

Cosmetologists certified and trained by the American Cancer Society will conduct the sessions, which are non-medical and do not promote any product line. Look Good . . . Feel Better is a supportive, informative and enjoyable first step toward renewed self-esteem, self-confidence, and emotional recovery for cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy.

Look Good . . . Feel Better is offered through a partnership of the American Cancer Society, the Personal Care Products Council Foundation and the National Cosmetology Association.
