Todays story covers the heart-wrenching and difficult topic ofcancer.
She was recently diagnosed with cancer and had to cut her hair due to chemotherapy.
She asked the OP (Original Poster) if she could shave her hair and donate it afterward.
The 17YO cares for her sister and visits her almost daily along with her mom.
She missesschooland other responsibilities to keep her sister company and not leave her alone.
The mother expects her to drop anything shes doing at the moment to help her sister.
Their mother pressured the 17YO to donate her hair as well, but she refused.
OP loves her mom and sister, but she has grown her hair out her whole life.
Additionally, in their family tradition, the hair is only cut when someone from the family dies.
This resulted in an argument between them.
The 17YO was hurt by her sisters words and started wondering if she was a jerk.
Later, the 17YO updated her story with a new post.
She had a conversation with her sister about her point of view and why she wouldnt cut her hair.
When the 14YO began chemotherapy, she still insisted that her daughter shouldnt look ugly.
To some, it may even be traumatizing.
However, aschemotherapyis being worked upon and improved, not all types of it cause hair loss.
The vast majority of side effects end after chemotherapy is stopped, and the hair typically grows back.
