She’s more down to Earth than to worry about her hair right now. But she probably won’t be ‘seen’ because chemo makes you sick and tired.

After my beautiful niece who eventually died of brain cancer had numerous surgeries which disfigured her skull and of course, hair loss. She refused a wig, saying “God gave me the gift of beauty, now he wants my soul to be more beautiful and stronger than my body, then added….”HAIR IS OVERRATED ANYWAY”. LOL

The Royals can afford high quality wigs.

She won’t have the stamina for public appearances for a while.

Not all chemo meds make you lose your hair. My youngest son, age 48 at the time was on two different kinds of chemo for 6 months after having two bi-sections of his colon to remove cancerous polyps, and he didn't lose his hair. They also took out about 70 of the surrounding lymph nodes during the surgery. He did unfortunately end up with a blood clot in his lung and had to give himself shots of Heparin through the remainder of his treatments. He also ended up with bad neuropathy in his hands and feed from the chemo. The neuropathy in his hands went away about two years later, but he still has bad neuropathy in his feet. The good news is that he just got his five-year clearance, and is now considered a cancer survivor.
