It doesn't have to be a death sentence. There have been many that have been blessed to be cancer survivors. I'm grateful for the ones I know and don't know who survived. They may one day become advocates and help someone else through the journey.

Breast Cancer Hair Loss
A person that has developed breast cancer may lose hair when going through Chemotherapy.According to Breast cancer now,
Chemotherapy drugs target rapidly dividing cells, so they damage some healthy cells as well as cancer cells. The healthy cells damaged include the cells in the hair follicles, which is why chemotherapy can make your hair fall out. As well as the hair on your head, this can also affect your body hair including eyebrows, eyelashes and pubic hair, and chest hair for men
Not all chemotherapy will make your hair fall out. "
Therefore, be kind to people that you see wearing wigs or hair extensions to enhance their appearance. Breast cancer patients may have less hair to style than they had before cancer entered their body, so be considerate of any challenges they are going through in life.
