Chemo Cap Report
By Dolores Roguszka
We have recently added the Great Land Infusion Pharmacy to our list of clinics receiving our chemo caps. This was at the suggestion of member Theresa Geiger, who is receiving her chemo treatments at Great Land. Her first session went well. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Theresa, as you do battle with this disease.
We will also be making a small distribution of caps to other clinics before the end of March. We have hats in some beautiful pastel colors that will be perfect for new Easter hats! They made us smile when we saw them and we’re sure they will lift the spirits of patients receiving them.
