Description

Hair loss is a very upsetting side effect of cancer treatment. It is one of the side effects that is easily visible to others and hard to hide (from family, co-workers). This section explains how and why hair loss occurs while one goes through cancer treatment. It also explains how other Native American cancer patients have handled hair loss.
