Dear Friends,
As you may
know, October has
been Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. If
you haven't already
done so, please
schedule your annual
mammogram. Early
detection is key to
winning the battle
against breast
cancer.
I'd also like
to take this
opportunity to let
our clients that are
battling against
this disease that
you are in our
thoughts and prayers
for healing daily.
Cancer affects
us all, either
personally or
through those we
hold dear.
Please forward this
newsletter or print
a copy out to give
to anyone who may be
helped by
sharing this
information.
If you noticed a
slight name change
under my photo,
that's a result
of my recent
wedding! It was a
small,
private ceremony and
we couldn't be
happier. Thanks for
your well-wishes and
support. We are
truly blessed.
All the best,
Sheryl

Choose
Control
Cancer
patients who
are proactive about
their
impending
hair loss as
they begin
cancer
treatments
are choosing
to control
their hair's
destiny
rather than
to be
controlled
by it.
That's an
accomplishment
when so many
other
aspects of
life seem to
be out of
control
during this
time.
We help
our clients
with cancer
by giving
them an idea
of what to
expect
regarding
hair loss
resulting
from their
cancer
treatment.

Cancer Symptoms
"Hindsight is
20/20." I'm sure
you've heard that

something was not
quite right with
their health, but
their symptoms
seemed so harmless
they put off a
needed doctor's
visit. The
following articles
lists common early
and easily
overlooked symptoms
of cancer for
women and men.

Q:
I was
recently diagnosed
with cancer and
understand that the
treatment that I
will be taking
shouldn't cause me
to lose
my hair. Can that be
right? I thought
everyone that took
cancer treatments
lost their hair.
A.
Actually, you may
very well not lose
your hair during
your cancer
treatment, depending
on the type therapy
you are prescribed.
However, for those
that do lose their
hair, or find that
it thins
significantly during
treatment, HPI can
have a natural hair
prosthetic available
for use in a matter
of days.
I would recommend
scheduling a
consultation before
treatments begin so
that if you needed a
prosthesis, we would
have photos of your
natural hair's color
and style and would
be ready to
duplicate it at a
moment's notice.
