Having to deal with cancer can be tough enough, so it is completely understandable that some people say that hair loss can feel like the final straw. But you don’t have to go through it alone as there are some really fantastic counselling services that can offer you help and support. People experience a range of emotions, both positive and negative, during treatment and hair loss. Whilst a counsellor is not a hair specialist they are used to talking to people about hair loss issues and helping them deal with it and feel better.
