Chemotherapy and Hair Loss: One Women’s Fight

When Cynthia Mulligan’s blond hair began to fall out she had it cut and went shopping for a wig with her young daughters. Cynthia Mulligan works as the Education Specialist and Host on CityNews Toronto. She is battling breast cancer and has come to see the latest technology in state-of-the-art wigs and hair additions. Her motto: “Look Good. Feel Good.”

She is sharing her cancer experiences in a very public way: Mulligan, as an on-air reporter for CityTV in Toronto, Ontario is blogging and doing television reports as she traverses the Canadian medical system and the challenges of undergoing chemotherapy and loosing her hair.

In the story she filed above, she talks about why she decided to investigate a wig (or hair prosthesis), why she took her young daughters along, and how she talked with them about breast cancer.
