Shelly Sachs Wig Room

ecious memories, like a first haircut as a child, or your mother brushing your hair each morning before school. Hair is an incredibly special part of who we are, and so when hair starts to fall out from chemotherapy and other treatments, it feels like a loss. For those experiencing cancer-related hair loss, know that these feelings of sadness are valid. Losing your hair is a loss, and on top of everything else you’re going through, it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Cancer-related hair loss is a significant life change, but you are not alone. The Shelly Sachs Wig Room is here to help you feel like yourself again. We, the Shelly Sachs Foundation, GYN Cancers Alliance and Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks goal in forming this partnership is to ensure every woman no matter type of cancer can receive quality services. We feel strongly that we need to be supporting as many women as possible during their cancer journey. GYN Cancers Alliance has assisted in countless wig fittings to know what a trauma it is for these women to lose their hair It truly isn’t “JUST hair”, it is so much more. We hope to lessen the blow of cancer. Hair loss during treatment is often the first question a cancer patient will ask after diagnosis. We know the need is there, we know this work is important, and this partnership between the Shelly Sachs Foundation, GYN Cancers Alliance and Breast cancer Foundation of the Ozarks will serve more women. GYN Cancers Alliance will assist with providing a free wig, wig stand, care instructions, and a special gift bag for each individual to pamper themselves.
