Have you become Agoraphobic in the face of Cancer? I created this Makeup Tutorial for Women going through Chemotherapy because, as a Breast Cancer Fighter (and soon, Survivor!), I found it discouraging that so many of the women we see on television and in the media (like Celia in WEEDS, Lynette in DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and Samantha in SEX AND THE CITY) are depicted as just having buzzed hair or bald heads. If you’ve had cancer and chemo, you know that’s NOT what you look like! Your hair thins, often not fallling completely out. You lose your eyebrows and eyelashes – often you don’t even recognize yourself when you look in the mirror!! It can be very discouraging and you don’t want to go out in public. It doesn’t have to be that way. With just a little effort, you can put your face together and feel more comfortable going out in public and not feeling like a freakshow. You just have to rediscover makeup again! Let this video be your inspiration, and check out other YouTube Channels like MichellePhan and MakeupGeek (women who are way, way more talented than me!). ***IF YOU LIKED THIS VIDEO, CHECK OUT MY BOOK, “RECIPE FOR LEMONADE” NOW AVAILABLE AT AMAZON.COM!! bit.ly You will need: – Smashbox “Try Me” Eye Kit – Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX Foundation – Foundation Sponge or Brush – MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer – EcoTools Brushes – Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder – Kiss Me Mascara in Dark Brown – GloMinerals gloBlush Duo in Petunia – Joey New York Super Duper … Video Rating: 4 / 5
From www.beetmedicine.tv Following breast cancer surgery, most women receive additional treatment – medication administered by a medical oncologist. Dr. Anne Moore discusses why chemotherapy and hormone therapy are used following breast surgery. Much has improved in how treatment is administered, such as a briefer duration, but hair loss is still terrifying to women, as are all side effects. The oncologist has to cope with these reactions too. — Peter Pressman, MD About our interviewee: Anne Moore, MD is Professor of Clinical Medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College and chair of the Breast Cancer Committee at The New York Presbyterian Hospital.
