Why Duchess Kate did not lose her hair during chemotherapy
Prof. Karin Jordan, a specialist from the German Oncology Society, said that chemotherapy and medications do not affect all patients' bodies in the same way. Reactions can vary depending on the treatments. That is why Duchess Kate did not lose her hair.
There are many different forms of cancer therapy. Depending on the type of cancer, different medications are used - she is quoted in "Frankfurter Rundschau."
Other media report that the Duchess' therapy was chosen so that her hair did not fall out. It's possible that she was taking pills, which minimizes the occurrence of side effects. Doctors may have also decided to use scalp cooling or immunotherapy, but these details are not confirmed.
