Advance notice of 3 business days is requested in order to ensure availability of a make-up kit but patients can register with less notice?even for same-day sessions. Women (age 18 or older) must be currently undergoing cancer treatment, about to undergo cancer treatment, or have recently completed cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, hormone therapy, or other forms of treatment). Only program participants may attend the workshop. Due to confidentiality and comfort level of the patients, as well as space restrictions, this protocol is necessary. This ensures that the participant receives full attention to gain the skills and confidence for increased independence. Exceptions to this policy may be considered if the patient has a physical or language barrier that the guest would assist with. A patient may attend more than one workshop; however, she should bring her LGFB cosmetic kit with her to the additional workshop. A new kit will not be provided. Patients with a recurrence of cancer and who are receiving another round of treatment may attend another workshop and receive a new cosmetic kit.
Workshops are conducted by a licensed cosmetologist, participants receive instruction on how to wear a wig, nail care and applying make-up.
