Yesterday I visited Boots as I had heard they have teamed up with Macmillan and are offering advice around make up. It was a very positive experience. I was given tips on my eyebrows, foundation, colour of lip sticks, and eyelashes. It gave me a positive boost whilst I am receiving my treatments.
Thank you Boots and Macmillan
I first of all telephoned my nearest large Boots shop which was at Lakeside Thurrock. They confirmed I could book an appointment or just turn up. The advice was given at their Number 7 counter and there would always be someone around to help. I just turned up last Saturday and headed for the No 7 counter. I hope this helps.
I tried this service, but it was more restrictive and meant quite a journey for me. My weekly hospital appointments also mean that I try to do only short distances other than hospital appointments. They also offer a service at Guy's hospital where my treatments are. However, this is on a Thursday morning and my appointments are Tuesday and Friday. So, Boots were a good option for me.
