Cancer

My neice just died after a battle of lung cancer and she was getting Chem and of course lost all her hair. Why is it that some people do not lose theirs, like Ted Kennedy and Patrick Swaze? They were both getting chemo.

Different people have different reactions to the chemo therapy. It depends on the person. Some people do not lose alot of hair.
