Many Sides to Bald Barbie

Who would’ve thought Barbie could rise to the pinnacle of cancer politics?  And still climbing.  In a country in which approximately 12,400 children are diagnosed with cancer each year (and the number keeps climbing), I can see why the topic of childhood cancer could and would touch on raw emotions.  It’s taken me some…See More

Is There Love After Hair Loss?

There’s looking for love in all the wrong places, and then there’s looking for (and keeping) love with all the wrong head wear.  Can a bald woman find, or better yet, be the recipient of romantic love?  Therese wants to know, and I suspect there are a whole lot of other women with the same painful question.Therese developed alopecia after tying the knot with her husband.  Therese initially wore wigs, but found they were not right for her.  She swapped her wigs for…See More

2012 Resolutions for Another Year of Alopecia

Given how much seems to have fit into the year 2011, I’m hoping that 2012 is comparatively insignificant, OR if significant, significant for reasons other than cheating/beating/living with cancer.  If Alopecia is my biggest emotional challenge for the year 2012, then I’ll consider it a fabulous year.  I’m planning ahead for just such a year with my 2012 resolutions.  To all my family, friends, and…See More

CHASING CANCER BRINGS HOLIDAY GRATITUDE

What a difference a year makes.  Last year, I was writing a ‘Holiday Blawg’ due to my Mom’s diagnosis of Lymphoma two weeks before Christmas.  It was very hard for me to put any cheer into the holidays.  This year, I am recovering (recovered) from the Whipple procedure due to…See More

The Scoop on Suki Skincare

Skin care products are very personal - naturally, given skin is personal.  When I find something I like, I tend to stick with it.  From time to time, I am asked to try different products and am always willing to do that because I am always looking for natural and safe skin care products to share with women who are undergoing chemotherapy or any woman who simply wants chemical-free and natural skin care…See More

About Me
I am the President of 4Women.com and designer of the newly patented BeauBeauR head scarf, a fashionable scarf specifically designed for women and girls. The Beaubeau unites the world of fashion with medical hair loss. 4Women.com's mission is to help women and girls cope with the emotional upheaval of medical hair loss with dignity and confidence and to advocate for greater understanding of the emotional impacts of medical hair loss among medical professionals and the public. I lost my hair quite suddenly in 2002 due to the autoimmune disease, Alopecia Universalis. Like so many women who experience hair loss, I suddenly found myself alienated and excluded from the worlds of feminine fashion and beauty. I channeled my fear and depression into a positive and proactive goal of ensuring that I and other women and girls with medical hair loss have a fashionable accessory that empowers us to step back out into the world with dignity, feeling confident and beautiful, not sick. I come from three generations of breast cancer survivors and am a BRCA2 gene carrier. At extreme risk for developing breast cancer, I made the bold decision to have my ovaries removed and undergo a prophylactic full mastectomy about nine years ago. A "pre-vivor," I am cancer-free, but very much empathize with women who lose their hair during chemotherapy. I strive to be a source of strength and hope for women and girls with medical hair loss.
