Is it possible for a woman to get chemo and radiation with no hair or weight loss and no radiation tatoo?

Some chemo regimes don't cause hair loss, and many people actually put on weight during chemo.





She would have been required to have tattoos for radiotherapy, but they are small dots - I can only see one of the four I had.





What would not have been possible would be for her to undergo these treatments without having a great deal of time off work. I don't know why her colleagues are suspicious of her, but if she hasn't had a fair amount of sick leave to recover from surgeries and from chemotherapy that may be a reason.





It isn't unknown. of course, for people to pretend they have cancer, for attention or sympathy or whatever. If you know her well, you will probably know whether she has been sick and ill with the effects of treatment, and whether she has had hospital stays.





Give her the benefit of the doubt until you have reason to believe she's not telling the truth.Is it possible for a woman to get chemo and radiation with no hair or weight loss and no radiation tatoo?
well it depends on your case of cancer and what treatments you will need to receive.


not all chemo's/radiation cause hair loss or weight loss - my boyfriend actually put on weight during his chemo because they gave he steriods to help him with the chemo.


if you have radiation then your going to have a tattoo because they need to make sure that they blast you in the correct place everytime - its dangerous for them to just guess.


my boyfriend lost his hair 3 weeks after his 1st lot of chemo, (he only had 2 doses) but it soon started to grow back and he had a normal head of hair within 2 months.





if you get better then surely its all worth it.
