Turning Heads - Hair Loss and Chemotherapy

Marjory and I received an email from Steve O'Keefe with the following announcement of a new book about hair loss after chemotherapy.

You should take a look - the book looks amazing, and might allow many women to think again about how they see themselves after chemotherapy hair loss.
