Fatigue is defined as “weariness or exhaustion from labor, exertion, or stress” (1). It is a common part of life, but can also be a symptom of an illness, such as cancer, and/or a side effect from treatments, including chemotherapy.
WPDE News Channel 15 is taking viewers behind the scenes of the American Cancer Society’s “Look Good…Feel Better” program during “Good Morning Carolinas” on Monday, January 13.
WPDE Reporter Amanda Kinseth will report live from 5 – 7 a.m. at Coastal Cancer Center’s Myrtle Beach office – the host site of four “Look Good…Feel Better” sessions in 2014. The local oncology practice recently announced the addition of three more sessions at its Conway office throughout the year.
The program developed by the American Cancer Society offers female cancer patients two hours of makeovers and tips on make-up, skin, hair and nail care free of charge. During the fun-filled afternoon, participants also learn how to properly care for and maintain wigs, in addition to receiving advice on turban styling.
Coastal Cancer Center is proudly hosting the following “Look Good…Feel Better” sessions with the American Cancer Society in 2014:
