Can Chemo Therapy Cause Hair Loss?
Is it a sure bet that anyone who has chemo will lose their hair?
Its not for me. It's my sister. She's 50, 5'5, maybe weighs 125. She recently had a tumor removed from her left breast and will now have to have both chemo and radiation. She's pretty upset about the hair loss and I was just wondering if everyone loses their hair when going through chemo
