Duchess Kate reveals her cancer battle; experts explain her hair retention

Duchess Kate recently underwent chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis. Prince William's wife did not lose her hair during the treatment cycle. Prof. Karin Jordan, a specialist from the German Oncology Society, explained why the Duchess retained her hair during chemotherapy.

The news of Duchess Kate's cancer diagnosis not only shocked the United Kingdom but also moved fans of the British royal family worldwide. The Princess of Wales released a statement announcing that she is taking every step to overcome the unwanted “invader.”

Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes - said Kate Middleton.

All loyal fans of the British royals closely followed the progress of her treatment, and not only court experts but also doctors and professors spoke on the matter. They focused, among other things, on 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.
