Rad Chat

**Trigger Warning**

Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara catch up with Lorna Jones as part of Education and Workforce Development series (part 49).

Discussion about Lorna’s role as a trichologist, scalp cooling for chemotherapy, afro-hair and cancer treatment related hair loss.
 
To use this podcast as CPD, look at these reflection points: 
1) reflect on what you consider a person undergoing cancer treatment looks like.
2) consider the negative impact of hair-loss on people living with and beyond cancer along with people they interact with.
3) read this: practical guide for managing cancer-related afro hair loss (by Care for Hair): https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/43822940-4c9b-45c3-a1b7-e98bb8ced43b/Booklet%20(1).pdf
