How Your Support Makes a Difference
Regaining a sense of self and self-esteem are the goals of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center’s Image Recovery Center in the Asplundh Cancer Pavilion. This serene salon brings the amenities of a luxury spa to people coping with the effects of cancer treatment, from loss of hair to changes in the skin to having breasts surgically removed.
“It is about changing the perspective of what cancer is to people,” says salon coordinator Elizabeth Adderly. “They can walk out of here feeling as much like themselves as they did before treatment started. It gives them a sense of normalcy.”
The center is the first of its kind in Montgomery County and one of about 20 Image Recovery Centers nationwide. Complimentary services for patients include an initial head shaving; post-treatment haircuts; skin, makeup, and wig consultations; and a wig bank for those in need. Other services include post-mastectomy breast prosthesis fittings; lymphedema treatment; oncology massage therapy; nail, skin, and hair care services; and more.
