Hair Loss and Cancer Patients - On the CANSA Couch

Hair loss is a common side-effect of chemotherapy treatment. In this heartfelt episode, we explore the emotional journey of individuals facing hair loss and the impactful support provided by CANSA. Join our guests as they discuss hair loss in cancer patients and give advice on how they are helping to make a difference in cancer patient’s lives: CANSA Seal of Recognition (CSOR) partner Charis Lewis, Hair Stuff growth serum CSOR partner Sue Richards, Compassion Hat Lucinda Carter from CANSA Head Office who manages hair donations and wigs for cancer patients All three guests have been touched by cancer personally and have, in their own way, navigated the challenges of hair loss. Lucinda explains, “CANSA’s wigs and headwear service is vital to patients. Being able to provide wigs, wraps or Compassion Hats to patients helps to empower them, it restores their self-confidence and brings a smile to their face. And knowing that our wigs are made possible from hair donations received from the public, they become not just a physical covering but a symbol of solidarity and understanding”.
