My 15 yr old DD just got out of hospital, 30 days all together, 7 in local hospital, 23 in CHOP (childrens in philly) She has a rare complication of mono, called HLH, and it requires high doses of steroids and 8 weeks of chemo to beat it. (she almost died, was on respirator, dialysis, etc)
ANYWAY, she does not have cancer but is losing her hair from the chemo. She has missed 6 weeks of school, is on home instruction for now. BUT how have some of you dealt with teen girls losing theit hair?? I ordered some different hats, but its hard, she does not want to discuss it much! Her hair was long, dark, thick, straight........... she does not want to even return to school if she looses all the hair, but she must of course. (so far 2/3 is gone I would guess, maybe more)
HELP!
