copenhagen smile	don't panic, it's unlikely that you have cancer. Cancer patients don't just start losing their hair - they lose their hair because they are cnacer patients. It falls out from chemotherapy treatments. You probably just have lice or an advanced form of East African Scalpicitis. Relax. John Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Synyster	Chemo makes you lose hair, NOT Cancer. You probably just DID something to you're hair like dyed it, or bleached it or something to do with chemicals in the hair.

bearstirringfromcave	Hair loss is associated with the treatment for Cancer not cancer itself - - - ie radiation treatments. Hair loss is usually a hereditary matter or a sign of poor nutrition. The best thing for either hair loss or fear of Cancer is a diet heavy on fresh fruits & vegetables, whole grain breads etc, light on lean meats preferably fish and cut out all 'junk' food especially sugary soda... An old fashion remedy is too rub raw egg into your scalp twice a day.. A modern method is Rogaine. Peace -------- o o o p p o o p p o o Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

J B	First, if you are young (under 20) your chances of cancer are very slim. Hair loss goes in cycles and varies with your nutritional status. Periods of greater hair loss and then periods of less hair loss are normal. You lose strands of hair (about 100) each and every day. You don't need to do anything. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

emmalynn	Cancer is never an easy thing to go through. But before you prepare yourself with thinking you have cancer you need to find out. Go to a doctor and tell them your concerns they can run several test on you to determine if you have it. So I would make an appointment after the Holidays. And if you do have cancer I suggest taking every step it takes to cure it. And if you don't then thank God for the blessing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
