When a young woman has cancer, she has to deal with not only the physical and emotional trauma of the disease itself, but also the debilitating effects of cancer treatment on her skin, hair, nails, and general appearance. The war on cancer is one of the most life-altering challenges a woman will ever face; how much easier it might seem if she is as least winning the battle to retain her physical appearance and self-esteem.
