Hi Sandy,

I've been to the "look good feel good" session. It is done by volunteers from Cosmetic industry. Yes go and have fun. Try to book in the session that fits in your chemo cycle - i.e.. atleast 4to 5 days after your chemo treatment, which give you time to recover from it. Book in asap, as they get book up quite quickly. I had loads of fun, meeting other women like me and just focusing on looking pretty and forget the doctors/scans/drugs/tireness etc!! My Chemo Style Group photo was taken during the lgfg.org.au workshop ... love it.

From personal experience, making the effort to make yourself look good can lift your spirits and thoes around you. (I had to, as I had a 2 yr & 6 yr old at the time - Mummy was the World to them, I smile they smile)

As for Wig - are you with Private Health Insurance, as they pay for Wig as part of Prosthesis, give them a call. I found wigs were useful for the "down" days, they were my "Social Prosthesis". (esp when I wanted I to feel normal and look normal infront of the mirror or going to a social event)
