Didn't read this post before I posted, but I agree that she is
afraid. She may need a little time. I also did not lose my hair. So,
it's not likely she will. The drug of choice for this chemo treatmant
doesn't cause hair loss. Internal radiation is not easy, but they are
improving it and I understand that my cancer centre is introducing a
treatment this year that will be less time and as effective.
