Can't believe how excited I am to go! I have never even worn much makeup but have noticed how washed out I am without mascara! And at 53, I am getting chemo acne! Thanks to everyone who mentioned this!

    Wearing makeup to the ones I went to was not an issue - warm damp wash cloths were given along with the cleanser in the bag.

    The ones I went to did but my brows don't follow what they say they do. Fortunately, I didn't loose all brows during A/C so I started learning where mine went by feel but on Taxol they all left - so for me it was using feel - we are all at least a bit different.

    I wish We had Them
    I wish we had them in our area. We used to and then when I inquired I was told they were no longer available in my area.

    Enjoy every moment of Look Good and yes, report back! How exciting...

    Maybe you can find a place near you.Like in another county.Not sure we have one either but if not I suggest going to a neighboring county.

    I didn't need chemo but sounds like these ladies had such a good time and I would hate for you to miss out on the fun and feeling better about yourself.

    Check with the BC Navigator
    Check with the BC Navigator at the Cancer Center you are going through - the ones I went to were there.

    Checking back in
    Yes, they did teach how to do the eyebrows and I have actually been doing them, and they look pretty good! The best for me was I didn't lose all (but most) of my eyelashes on the top lid, but did lose them on the bottom. So she was able to show me how to do a light application of eyeliner which fills in the missing on the top, and gives the bottom of my eye some definition. I have a light pinky complexion (Irish), and my eyes looked so washed out. Now I don't feel like I look sickly:)

    It was a lot of fun! I followed it up by contacting the Cancer Wellness House and signing up for Mediation and Gentle Yoga every Monday and Thursday, and they scheduled a theraputic massage for the 29th. There is no charge for any of this. I don't do well with pain meds and they believe that the meditation will help to manage the bone pain.

    I am really excited about all of this, and am thrilled that so many people are willing to give of their time and talents to help all of us.

    Amazing people and I am so thankful.
