Thank you, Mary Ellen Locher, for my new look
After I lost my hair from the chemo, I started wearing fun hats and brightly colored hats. I wanted a wig though, for those times when I wanted to look my best.
My daughter found out that they give away wigs and hats and scarves to women who have lost their hair from chemo, at the Mary Ellen Locher breast cancer center in Chattanooga.
We went over there after seeing my oncologist and I picked out this really attractive brown wig. I liked it and liked the style pretty well but it wasn’t exactly the look I wanted so we went back a few weeks later and discovered a blond wig that looked like it was made for me. It fit great and looked great.
I felt so much better with that wig on. Thank you, Mary Ellen Locher. You did a wonderful thing starting that donation service. I could not really afford wigs and now I have two that look great for any occasion.
There is a painted portrait of Mary Ellen in the entrance area of the cancer center and I think she just looks so beautiful. The whole place is decorated in such peaceful colors and it is just a warm feeling place to be. Thank you, Mary Ellen Locher.
