in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1

I'm undergoing chemotherapy and have hair loss and scalp psoriasis. Where can I find a salon familiar with these issues?

Thanks

    Hi Mrs. B, so sorry that you are going through this. One place to start is right here at Cancer.org in the Programs & Services section. This page has a section devoted to hair-loss etc.: https://www.tlcdirect.org I believe that the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS.org) has a similar resource section. Another site that I was referred to: https://lookgoodfeelbetter.org I actually went to one of their in-person programs and it was very fun & supportive at a time when I was feeling quite low about it all. Maybe you can find one in your area?

    You may find that many solutions are quite expensive, but you can find very affordable alternatives on Amazon. They also have a whole section devoted to hair-loss post-chemo. The good news is that there is a good chance that all your hair will come back. I think I was able to go "hatless" about 3 months after finishing my chemo. Best of luck with it. Hang in there.
