Each year, hundreds of thousands of cancer patients undergo chemotherapy, and the first question they usually ask is, 'Will I lose my hair?' The answer is, 'Yes', and with that answer comes fear, apprehension, and a host of negatives related to self-image and self-confidence. "Chemo and Me" emphasizes the positive. Its message is that hair loss is not as devastating as you might expect. Each turn of the page comes with a bright, colorful illustration designed to bring a smile or a laugh, helping diffuse some of the fear and apprehension for people facing chemotherapy and hair loss. From first-hand experience, Tani C. Miller lets you know that hair loss can actually bring about positive changes and give you a new outlook on life. This feel-good book highlights the importance of letting go and allowing others to be helpful through treatment.
