The Look Good … Feel Better program is designed to educate women receiving cancer to assist in coping with changes in their physical appearance that may result from their illness or treatment.

Since many women participate, the program has a strong element of support and allows you to share and learn from other women with similar experiences.

The session includes two segments, one devoted to makeup and another devoted to hair loss (wig care, scarf tying, turbans, etc.) Participants have given this program high ratings and recommend it for all patients.

The program is sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association Foundation, and the National Cosmetology Association.

Sessions are held on the third Monday of each month from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Location

The program is hosted at Duke University Medical Center by Duke Oncology Recreation Therapy and the Duke Cancer Patient Support program.
