💕 Know a local woman undergoing cancer treatment who could use a little lift?

On Wednesday 25 November, Look Good Feel Better is hosting a free morning workshop at The Bays to help women feel more like themselves during cancer treatment.

The session offers practical tips and support around:
✨ Wigs and headwear
✨ Skincare during treatment
✨ Makeup techniques to help restore confidence

But it’s about so much more than beauty — it’s a chance to connect with others, share experiences and feel supported through a challenging time. 💕

After attending a recent workshop at The Bays, patient Jo shared how much the experience meant to her:

"It was such a lovely experience… the volunteers were warm and friendly from start to finish and it was such a positive experience. Being able to talk with other women and hear their experiences, tips and advice was an unexpected benefit of the morning."

Jo said having access to support close to home has helped her remain positive throughout her cancer journey — a reminder of the difference these moments of connection can make. ❤️

Look Good Feel Better is a free, national program by the Cancer Patients Foundation, supporting people facing the visible side effects of cancer treatment.

A big thank you to Dr Ali Eqbal, Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, and Dr Joyce Ma, Colorectal and General Surgeon, for sharing their expertise with our community at last night’s free Health & Wellbeing event at The Bays Cancer Care Centre. 💙

The event gave community members the opportunity to hear directly from these specialists about bowel health, bowel cancer and the importance of early detection.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, but finding it early can make a significant difference to treatment and outcomes. Knowing the signs to look out for, participating in recommended bowel cancer screening and speaking with your GP about any concerns are important steps in protecting your health.

We’re grateful to Dr Eqbal and Dr Ma for taking the time to share their knowledge, answer questions and help our community feel more informed about their health.

If you have concerns about your bowel health or would like to discuss a referral to either specialist, speak with your GP about the next steps.

To learn more about these doctors, search our Find a Doctor directory: https://www.thebays.com.au/find-a-doctor/

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this important community conversation, and to our wonderful volunteers for helping with this event!

Helping people feel like themselves again 💗

Hair loss can be one of the most visible and difficult side effects of cancer treatment. Finding a wig or headpiece that feels right can make a real difference to confidence and wellbeing.

That’s why our Wig Library volunteers are continually building their expertise.

Wendy, Dee and Hilary recently undertook specialist training with the team at CelebrityBrandz Wigs and Angel Extensions in Moorabbin, learning more about wig selection, fitting, styling and care.

They’ll bring that knowledge back to The Bays Wig Library, where they provide free, private and compassionate appointments for people experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatment.

Whether it’s choosing a first wig, trying a new style or learning how to care for a wig, our volunteers are there to help each person find an option that feels comfortable, suits them and helps them feel confident.
