Tender Loving Care Catologue
Dear Volunteers,
We now have catalogues available from "tlc," an American Cancer Society booklet where patients can order wigs and various hats and scarves. I will place the catalogues in the cabinet with the Knit for Nancy hats. Please feel free to distribute as needed.
TLC Tender Loving Care is a not-for-profit patient service of the American Cancer Society intended to make coping easier for women experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy, radiation treatment or surgery. In addition to helpful editorial advice from the experts at the American Cancer Society, we offer a large selection of hair loss products for cancer patients as well as special products for breast cancer patients and survivors. Our attractive, comfortable and affordable headwear includes wigs, hairpieces (bangs, falls and sideburns), turbans (cancer caps), hats, head scarves, kerchiefs and other useful products. Our mastectomy products include breast forms, pocketed post-surgery bras, swim suits and camisoles.
