Oct 04, 2010 – Scott Boden, M.D., a board certified hair transplant surgeon with the Hair Restoration and Aesthetic Medicine Center of Connecticut, recently gave cancer survivor, Genevieve Proto, the gift of hair by performing a pro bono hair transplant on her scalp.
In 2006, at the age of 50, Genevieve Proto was diagnosed with Lymphoma. She had surgery to excise the malignant tumor and then received 22 bouts of radiation therapy. Though she has been cancer-free for nearly three years, the emotional and physical scars of her experience are still with her. Treatment of the malignant tumor left a prominent bald patch on her scalp. She feared that she would have to endure this constant reminder of her illness for the rest of her life.
