I've been following this exchange about the cancer patient and chemo. My experience goes back well over 13 years when my wife was diagnosed with metastatic stomach cancer. By the time it was discovered, most of her organs were already involved. They put her on chemo right away. She never lost a single hair after almost 3 months of it. After 4 months, I had to put her into hospice care and she died a few weeks later. I have always wondered if she was "really" getting chemo, or were we being lied to. My aunt, years before, also had chemo and almost immediately lost her hair. Why didn't that happen to my wife?
