Does she have short hair now because of the chemo treatment?

A little OT: Does all of the hair on your body fall out when you get the treatment (eyebrows, pubic hair, etc.?) I've always wondered about that.

It depends on how aggressive the treatment is. Unfortunately I've had three grandparents die of cancer and in each case the level of hair loss was different. My grandmother had breast cancer that spread throughout her body and she lost all the hair on her body but she had extremely aggressive treatments. My other grandmother died of lung cancer and she barely lost any of her hair at all. She mostly had radiation treatments and small doses of chemo. It just depends on the treatment.

It also depends on the specific drugs used, not just how aggressive they are -- my dad underwent various chemo regimens over the seven years that he had cancer, and the ones that made him feel the worst weren't always the ones that made his hair fall out. And to answer your other question, he didn't lose all of his hair -- the hair on his head fell out and his eyebrows got thin, but his lashes and arm hair (and presumably everything else) stayed the same.

Kylie looks great with the short hair. I'm hoping hard that she's cured.

I think she looks great with short hair too, it really suits her. I am glad to hear she is doing much better too. Breast cancer as well as any cancer is dreadful and the medications you need to take make you extremely ill.

Me too. She sure looks different, but I'm so glad she seems happy.

[ot]My Mom didn't lose any hair from chemo, but her hair got a lot thinner where they shaved her for her brain surgery and when she had radiation therapy. And it was weird to see her with grey hair, since she'd been a gorgeous redhead all her adult life.[/ot]

Okay, I know she had a thread but couldn't find it. I apologize if it's still kicking around. Anyways, I'm spending my Saturday evening looking up Kylie videos on Youtube (kinda sad, I know!). I don't really have anything of any importance to say, just that if I could switch places with anyone it would be her. She's my idol as far as celebs go. Oh, and I'm glad she's on the mend.

Her duet with Robbie Williams called Kids is fabulous and so are her songs Love At First Sight (remix) and Come Into My World.

I love all her songs, which is pretty rare for me. My favorites right now are I Believe In You and Breathe. I love the Robbie duet, too

Bumpy bump.

Red Blooded Woman is my fave Kylie track. She is missed on the pop scene, with her fun performances.

I adore Red Blooded Woman. On one of those crack-like MySpace surveys, I named RBW as the song that most epitomises me. Pretty much just because I wish I was Kylie.

Can't wait to hear more about how shes doing, shes looking good.

Oops! I searched and this thread didn't come up! Sorry.

Hee. I wish I was Kylie, too. She seems to have a lot of fun.

She seems like a great person. Love her!

[Jcruz]
