Cancer Awareness and Cancer-related Afro Hair Loss event

Saturday 7 September

Join us for an enlightening Cancer awareness event where we will be demystifying myths and discussing cancer-related afro hair loss.

 

“Are you concerned about the rising incidence of cancer and its impact on the community?”

“Do you believe everything that you hear about cancer?”

“Is there an increased risk of cancer with the use of hair dyes and relaxers?”

“What do you think about research and clinical trials?”

We will unpack this and more at this enlightening event where we will:

  • Demystify Myths about cancer
  • Hear about cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment options.
  • Discuss cancer-related hair loss, with a focus on afro-textured hair
  • Look at recent studies linking the use of hair products to cancer

At this event, you will also be able to:

  • Learn how patients can contribute to ongoing research and clinical trials aimed at combating cancer.
  • Explore information on cancer, including support, consultations on hair and skin care, learn about methods to reduce hair loss through chemotherapy by scalp cooling

It’s FREE Admission and Light refreshments will be provided.

Don’t miss this opportunity to educate yourself and make a difference in your community. Bring your friends and family, and let’s stand together in the fight against cancer.
