Helping to cope
Cancer patients get help battling cosmetic issues

 

Kathryn Mazierski founded Pretty Personal Inc., which assists cancer patients, primarily women.

Sometimes it's coping with the treatment that can be the most challenging part of having cancer.

The outward signs of chemotherapy - the ruddy skin, a puffy face, the thinning hair - can take a personal battle and make it public one with all the accompanying sideways glances and outright questions.

Kathryn Mazierski inserts herself at this point in the patient's experience. She founded Pretty Personal Inc., with cosmetic and wig divisions, with a special intent of helping cancer patients, particularly women, face the world as they fight the disease.

Mazierski's understanding of women's health-care issues began to deepen as she served as president of the New York state chapter of NOW, the National Organization for Women. As she traveled the state lobbying for insurance coverage, she came into contact with many women who were sick with cancer, and befriended one in particular, who helped her appreciate that cancer tends to take over, physically, emotionally and socially. Body image is a part of that.
