I am an oncology nurse and breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in 1992 and elected to have a mastectomy and full course of chemotherapy. It was a strange experience finding myself on the other side. I had been working with cancer patients my entire career. I quickly discovered the trials experienced with the initial diagnosis and ensuing treatment. I lost my hair and went into menopause. I was surprised to find how few products were available. I now have a business helping women undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Susan's Special Needs carries over 700 wigs, mastectomy bras and breast forms, all natural skin care products, hot flash pajamas, fashionable headwear and scarves. Wigs. Mastectomy. Mastectomy Swimwear. Lymphedema. Hats and Turbans. Skin Care.
Susan's Special Needs embraces learning. As a nurse educator my goal is to help educate you on your journey with cancer in all areas of needs and interest. My personal experience during treatment was intense and frightening. My intent and mission is to guide you through your treatment, provide you with great products to meet your new needs and to become a new resource for you as your needs change and evolve. The team at Susan's Special Needs will become your new source of support and we will guide you gently. Our approach is unique and yet ever changing as we constantly change the products to meet the challenges of new protocols and treatment management...
