"Women undergoing treatment for cancer are faced with a number of appearance-related side effects. These side effects include hair loss as well as skin and nail changes. Dealing with these appearance-related side effects can be almost as devastating as the cancer treatment itself," said Sherree Bennett, RN, CBEC, certified breast health nurse navigator, Andrews Women's Hospital at Baylor All Saints Medical Center at Fort Worth. "This is a wonderful program, and I am so glad to be able to offer it to cancer patients in the Fort Worth community. Learning how to look good, in spite of this disease, really does make you feel better!"
