Mandy:

I just posted on Hayley's blog about her hair. As a young girl, she must be so upset. I have an 18 year old son. As a mother, you must be devastated. You have found a wonderful site where you can ask questions from people who have gone thru this terrible disease and beat it.

I went thru oral cancer with cisplatin and 7 wks of radiation. I was told I would lose all my hair. I cut my long hair short to save myself the agony of losing it in long pieces. I did not lose my hair. I still have a full head of hair except a tiny bit on the back of my neck. This was lost from the radiation, not the chemo. It is completely unnoticeable.

Best of luck to you and your brave daughter. You are in my prayers.
