Restoring Radiance

Elizabeth Goodman (standing) has some ideas to help cancer patients who suffer hair loss or other alterations to their appearance because of cancer. She consults daily with patients at the Radiance Boutique at Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute, helping them return to normalcy on their journey to recovery. Goodman has an arsenal of items to help patients, including wigs, compression garments, specialty bras, and prostheses. Wigs come in a variety of styles that are fitted to an individual’s head cap and ordered in a color to match the natural hair.

Compression sleeves and socks are available to provide the correct amount of constriction to increase circulation in those with vascular problems. And forms in many shapes and sizes help women feel beautiful after lumpectomies, breast reconstruction, and full and bilateral mastectomies. The boutique also offers a post-surgical camisole with drain pouches that are useful after surgery, which resembles a tank top that can fit with any patient’s wardrobe. “Offering patients dignity is our top priority,” Goodman says.
