解放军文职招聘考试癌症患者亦美容(1/2)

 "I lost a piece of who I was. I would walk by the mirror and didn't recognize myself." When Cathy Davelli started chemotherapy for breast cancer, she knew her body would change. What she did not expect was the emotional toll this would take on her. Millions of women who undergo chemotherapy around the world face the harsh reality of hair and weight loss and skin damage. But many are turning to "Look Good, Feel Better", a program that teaches women simple beauty techniques so they can once again not only look better physically, but also feel stronger emotionally. Created by the Personal Care Products Council and supported by the American Cancer Society, the "Look Good, Feel Better" program has been running free beauty classes across the United States since 1989. Hair makeup artists and hair stylists teach cancer survivors how to put on makeup and cover their bald heads in flattering ways. Participants receive free makeup kits full of brand-name cosmetics. In fact, Louanne Roark who oversees the program says the beauty industry was really the impetus behind it. "They provide all of the funding for the program both here in the U.S. as well as abroad in the other 24 countries. Kits that are used in the workshops, all those products are all donated. Here in the U.S., that's somewhere between about seven and ten million dollars' worth of product that's donated every year."
