There are normally only a few other types of cells that continue 'growing' . . and those types of cells are in the intestine . . and . .you guessed it . . hair cells . . hair cells grow normally every month. So, the chemotherapy can not tell the difference between a cancer cell and a hair cell . . it kills both types of cells . . and the result is hair loss.
