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. Depending on the treatments, reactions can vary. That is why Duchess Kate did not lose her hair.
Other media report that the Duchess' therapy was chosen so her hair did not fall out. It's possible that she was taking pills, which minimises the occurrence of side effects. Doctors may have also decided to use scalp cooling or immunotherapy, but these details are not confirmed.
