For most people the word cancer creates fear and confusion. Certainly, this applies to chemotherapy and radiation therapy used in treatment.
Patients are uneasy about the treatment and the possible side effects, particularly hair loss.
It's only natural. This is not an everyday happening for you. You may not be prepared. Given the facts and the opportunity to study them, most of us will feel less fearful. We feel better about the treatment and cooperate better because we understand what is happening and more important, why.
