Not always George. It all depends on what type of chemo it is, how long they are on it, how many doses, the strength of the dose, etc. My fiance has gone through treatment 3 times, and then a 4th time had a really nasty medical illness and lost her hair again!(No chemo the 4th time, just lost it because of the stress and malnurishment of the illness). And yes: If they lose ALL of their TOP hair, they would lose ALL of their body hair as well.
Legs, arm pits, and other places are all bare nude, which is a good thing because most doctors would prefer their patient's not shave their legs when going through chemo, simply because of bleeding issues and risk of infection increases.

It all depends on the specific drug or dosage and how a patient responds to it. Some chemotherapy drugs can cause all body hair, including eyelashes and eyebrows, to fall out. However, some may only result in a thinning of hair.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
