No, not every cancer patient needs chemotherapy. Treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer. Some may need surgery, radiation, or newer therapies like immunotherapy. Your doctor will recommend the best plan for your condition. I’m scared chemotherapy will make me lose my hair. Is there any way to prevent this? Hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy, but it doesn’t happen to everyone. The chances depend on the type of drugs used and your body’s reaction. If you’re concerned, there are ways to reduce the risk. Cooling caps, also known as scalp hypothermia, are one option. They work by reducing blood flow to the scalp during treatment, which may help prevent hair loss. It’s also helpful to prepare yourself emotionally. Some people choose to cut their hair short before treatment starts, while others explore wigs, scarves, or hats. Remember, hair loss is temporary for most people—it often starts growing back after treatment ends. Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor about what to expect and the resources available to help you cope.
