Help to face the future

For some people faced with a cancer diagnosis, how they look is the last thing on their mind. For others, taking care of their appearance is a vital boost, and a copy of Pretty Sick: The Beauty Guide For Women with Cancer by Cailin M Kiernan might prove helpful. Fashion and beauty journalist, Kiernan, who suffered from breast cancer, has included skin, nail and hair care (including wig shopping) as well as makeup and post-mastectomy style advice.
