American Cancer Society seeking cosmetologists to facilitate Bay County beauty program for female cancer patients

Breast cancer threw Ann Hoppe into a horrific whirlwind of oncology appointments and chemotherapy, but the American Cancer Society gave the Akron woman back a piece of herself — her image. “I was worried about losing my hair, what my face would look like,” Hoppe said. “Life doesn’t stop when you have cancer. I still have to go to work, to my daughter’s games.” Hoppe attended a two-hour Look Good…Feel Better session, a free program for women undergoing cancer treatment. Lead by a volunteer, licensed cosmetologist, Look Good…Feel Better sessions aim to teach women beauty techniques to help them deal with side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
