Linda Kiedrowski survived chemotherapy and breast cancer
In May 2003,
Linda was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. After two
rounds of chemotherapy, Linda, who is president and owner of
The Paranet Group Inc., is back steering her business to new
levels of success.
 As
a result of the Chemotherapy treatments, Linda experienced
severe hair loss. Months after chemotherapy, most patients’
hair grows back. However, after more than two years of
waiting, Linda’s hair did not return.
In the Fall of
2006, Linda met with Mel Laudolff, president and owner of
Transitions of Wisconsin, to see what could be done to
restore her hair. Her new hair is not a wig. It is an
individually customized, totally natural hair replacement
system created especially for her.
Linda is able
to shower and style it as if it was her own, and drive her
convertible with the top down and feel the wind blowing
through her hair. "Feeling the wind blowing through my
hair... that is just so cool."
And it’s made a
world of difference.
“It’s like a
little weight has been lifted,” she said. “I can be me
again. I love big hair. That’s me. They kind of made a
miracle happen. I left a different person. I came home, and
my husband looked at me and said, ‘Linda’s back.’”

There are
several hair loss treatment options available for those
experiencing chemotherapy and other medically related hair loss. Some people choose
hairs, scarves or turbans, while others prefer a hair
prosthesis or both.
Our custom hair
replacements for men, women, and children are uniquely
different from the standard wigs readily available in
department stores or mail order catalogs.
They are
designed to meet an individual's specific hair loss needs,
and to look totally natural and undetectable. Whatever the
cause, every medically-related hair loss situation can be
restored to the patient’s original hair style and look.
Trichotillomania
Lots of people
have nervous habits, but people who pull out their hair
compulsively can suffer overwhelming emotional and even
physical impact. Hair pulling is a deep secret for most
people who do it, but it is not especially rare.
Psychiatrists estimate that 4 million Americans have what is
called trichotillomania (trick-o-till-o-main-ee-a). If wigs
or hair replacement is something you want to consider, the
highly experienced consultants at Transitions of Wisconsin in
Milwaukee will help you find the best solution.
