A member asked:
I've been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, starting chemotherapy. can i still press &flat iron my hair, what other styles can i wear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hair that you can handle will be unaffected by chemotherapy. If you take certain drugs that cause hair loss you obviously cannot press that which is not there
