Summary
Hair loss is one of the most visible, and emotional, side effects of cancer treatment. In this episode, David and Hajar explore why something as simple as losing your hair can have such a profound impact on self-image and identity. At Roswell Park’s New Era Cap Foundation Elevate Salon , patients find more than wigs and head coverings—they find compassion, confidence, and a sense of control in a time when so much feels uncertain.
