Canibal is pretty right about her answer. I know it is very hard to look at a sick child and not worry about them. In my job, I have seen many children come to the hotel that I work at and stay here because it is their wish for the program Make A Wish Foundation.

Usually they are here for a part of it, the hotel has the cheapest rate and the family comes and their wishes are fulfilled. One boy wanted to ride on a firetruck. So, the firemen came to the hotel in the front drive and he got on and they went for a ride.

You should have seen his face, so very happy! Then later on he went to the Mariners baseball game and threw out the first pitch. He ran around the bases and Ichiro gave him a big hug! He got a picture with the Mariners and a uniform with his name on it. When they announced his name and he was on the big TV board you should have seen his smile and heard the crowd applause him.

When children are ill, my heart breaks for them. Usually, I just say a silent prayer for them and leave it at that.

Thanks for caring!Health Question & Answer

Honestly, it isn't any of your business, so I wouldn't worry about it. Typically, people who have cancer undergo chemo, and so they lose hair (which they can cover with wigs), including their eyebrows. But some people have light eyebrows or no eyebrows naturally, some shave theirs, and some without eyebrows "paint" them on, so even then you can't tell. The only way you'll know is if they tell you, which is why just eavesdropping means it's none of your business.

also, most wigs that I've seen are made with hair from Russia.Health Question & Answer

A few pointers;

1. This question has nothing to do with cancer
2. Asians who give hair, get their healthy ponytails cut off, thinning hair is not a symptom of having recently had a hair cut.
3. Anybody can have thinning hair, it can be a sign of many things or you can just have naturally thin hair.
4. To answer your head question - you can't tell by looking.Health Question & Answer

i cant really tell rather one person has such symptoms,unless its coming them that the doctor diagnosed them!but to just watch,and to just find out they don't have much hair is never such one example as a person that bares the kind of serious illness!neither they are asians or indians,or anywhere is so the same for the fact that cancer has only one mysterious symptoms that some times you may not be able to find out until it gets really bad.Health Question & Answer

it really depends nowadays because people do radical things with their hair but some people have thinned or no hair at all due to the treatment of the cancer which then makes their hair fall off slowly.
As for hair wigs i think it would look real rather than thinned out, and plus they're really expensive tooHealth Question & Answer

there's all sorts of things that can cause hair loss - not just cancer. it can be a disease called alopecia, thyroid problems, stress, anorexia/bulimia - and many more. you definitely can't tell if she has cancer just by looking at her.Health Question & Answer
