The Looking Glass at Hollings Cancer Center will hold free seminars on Thursday and Friday, Aug. 9 and 10.  Between 10 and 11 a.m. and 3 to 4 p.m., on both days, a lymphodema clinic will be held for breast cancer patients, with an emphasis on prevention, care and coping. 
 
During the same days and times, an esthetician will provide advice on managing skin changes during chemotherapy and radiation therapy.  Also, on those days, between 10 a.m. and noon, chefs from Johnson and Wales will give tips and recipes for preparing smoothies to boost calories and build strength during and after cancer treatment.  
 
There also will be an expert on hand from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to assist with breast prosthetics and wigs, which will be on sale in the Looking Glass.
