“It is an opportunity for women to sit in a room with other women experiencing hair loss, loss of eyebrows and eyelashes, fatigue, anemia, weight gain or loss, etc. and share and support each other while learning how to look good and feel better as they go through treatment,” Janet Kramer-Mai said via email. Kramer-Mai is Erlanger’s director of oncology.
