Cancer, Chemotherapy and Self Image



Self image is so important to our well being both physically and mentally. We are reminded every day how critical our role is in helping women adjust to their new reality and the new definition of normal.  A perfectly selected wig will make you feel great. A properly fitted bra and corresponding breast form/s balanced to match make going back to work, out with your family (can't freak out the kids) or going out shopping fun again. Time and time again we have women tell us how many compliments they have received on their new haircut...when it's really a wig. That makes all of us feel good.  Many women go out and buy a new outfit for a fresh new look with a fresh new outlook. It's amazing how that reflects on a feeling of well being attitude for the day.  800.497.7005  www.SusansSpecialNeeds.com

Post Breast Cancer: Visitors from All Over the U.S.

WoW what a day at Susan's. We had a visitor from Ohio who came in for a wig and a previous client who had moved out of town. She has lived in many different major cities around the country and has not found another Susan's. She was happy to be back in town and be able to visit us for her products. 800.497.7005  www.SusansSpecialNeeds.com

Post Breast Cancer: A Whole New Support Experience


Susan's Special Needs is a whole new experience. We have women visit our store and immediately feel warm and welcome in the comforting surroundings reminding one of a street in Paris. Serene murals, the inviting hint of lavender and soft music helps to soothe frayed nerves and provide a setting to share feelings, understand one's diagnosis, and for us to walk the patient through our unique Action Plan. 


It is most difficult when you are diagnosed and have been presented with the medical facts regarding your surgery and treatment. The really hard part is being able to sit and talk to someone who has experienced cancer and subsequent treatment. I love being able to talk with, not only the patient, but also with their husbands and families to discuss expectations. My early years as a psych nurse then 20+ years of experience as an Oncology Home Care Nurse and Breast Cancer has offered me an understanding, knowledge and first hand experience to help women work their way through this most difficult time in their life.   800.497.7005  www.SusansSpecialNeeds.com
