Cancer

 Join other AYA Oncology patients to help learn how to look and feel your best during and after treatment. Look Good Feel Better is a public service program created by the Look Good Feel Better Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the Professional Beauty Association to help girls and guys deal with the appearance, health, and social side effects of cancer treatment. LGFB includes lessons on skin care, cosmetics, wigs, hair wraps, and hats, accessories, and styling, helping young people with cancer to find some normalcy in a life that is by no means normal.

At Children’s Minnesota, we know that medical treatments—like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation—are only part of caring for an adolescent or young adult (AYA) with cancer. You’ll also need emotional support, interactions with other people your age and logistical help living your life while undergoing cancer treatments. We’ll help you find the combination of support—and independence—that’s right for you.
