‘When I had cancer a few years back and was doing chemotherapy I had people who constantly questioned that I actually “had cancer” due to the fact that my hair didn’t fall out until I was actually in remission (Had been off chemo for about 2-3 weeks when my hair started gradually thinning and falling out).

‘It’s a complete myth that every single person’s hair will have the same reaction to chemo. Some people lose hair right away, some don’t. Everybody is different.’
