I was not able to attend one because it happened to coincide with chemo. I heard though the best is to see other sisters, not the makeup. It's also dependant on the sponsoring hospital centers, some are great, others are not.
I was also so sick, didn't feel like going out much at that time.
I learned to do the eyebrows in my bathroom mirror, I even bought one of those pre cut plastic patterns, which did not work. I never had used pencil on my eyebrows till then. Many mistakes made here
