Question by Sweet n Sour: Why are more and more Americans losing their hair and getting cancer?
Are we being exposed to toxins in the atmosphere that we are not aware of causing all the cancer and hair loss in many women too?? Healthy people without a history of cancer in their family are getting cancer, women are losing a lot of hair too and men at younger ages.

Question by MARIA D: Hair replacement options for a woman battling cancer?
i have recently been switched to another chemo drug and after years of treatment, i think this one will do the job of completely obliterating most or all the hair on my head.
since i don’t want to live the rest of my life bald, i’ve been reading about medical hair replacement:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/hair-loss/index.html
my question is, has anyone else gone through the same or can offer constructive advice on what steps i can take? approx. cost comparison re. each type of treatment and which one seems to work the best w/ the most minimal bothersome effects?
only serious answers, please. after going through bald again, hair again – i can’t take any more yo-yoing and being bald forever using bothersome wigs and hats are no longer a viable option.
thank you.

Question by cheeseless.cheeseburger: In general, Why cancer chemical therapy causes hair loss.?
Mechanically, how does that happen ?
and overall how the chemical treatment of cancer work on the cancer cells ?
Best answer:
Answer by Flapore
Formation of hair involves division of cells, as do growth of cancers. Briefly chemotherapy inhibits division of cells, thereby preventing formation of new hair. We shed hair all the time, and consequently hair loss is greater than hair formation during chemotherapy. When the treatment is over hair formation becomes normal again.
