Medically induced hair loss ~ How some small, achievable steps can make a big impact.

Lesley Hoad shares her real-life story on her hair loss following her cancer diagnosis and treatment.

As a hairdresser and an educator, she felt more pressure when her hair began to fall out, as if she 'should' have all the answers. She describes not feeling like herself as she began to lose not only her hair but her teeth aswell. 

She describes the small, realistic changes that she has been able to implement to lessen the impact of cancer on her life and her body, helping her to regain her sense of self.

As a self-confessed workaholic, she shares how she would have chemotherapy on her lunch break and then return to work! And how the experience has actually helped her to learn to slow down, listen to her body and make the necessary adjustments to improve her health and recovery.

Lesley is an inspiration with her positivity and selfless approach to life. She feels that by not letting it get the better of her, and keeping up with normal life as much as possible, it has helped her work through her depression and fight for her recovery.
