Cancer patients to Look Good Feel Better at free program

The American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better program, a free service that teaches cancer patients hands-on cosmetic techniques to help them cope with appearance-related side effects from chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments, will hold an upcoming session at:

WHERE: Hallmark Health System Hematology and Oncology Center, 41 Montvale Ave., Stoneham

WHEN: Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2 – 4 p.m.

RSVP: 1-800 -227-2345. Participants should register at least one week before the session.

The program offers free tips and training on wig care, scarf and hat use, skin care, and nail care, and all participants will receive a free makeup kit.
