My mom has been loosing hair latley, and it could just be my nerves, but there is some trace of breast cancer in my family. She’s still young, only 38. I’m just a worried teenage daughter, I’m afraid I might loose her…I don’t think she has thought about this fact that it could be something more than just loosing hair, but I just would like to ask the simple question of whether breast cancer can lead to hair loss when it is not yet diagnosed and there is no kemo going on. She has been on a diet, so could that be it?

Please tell me as much as you know.
I’m so worried.
All answers are welcome and valued.
Thank you.
Thanks to you guys who are giving me answers, you’ve just lifted the weight of the world off my back for the night.
Thank you so much, keep the answers up though, I’m still curious about it all.

Im a 19yr old college student from New Mexico. I’m trying to raise $1800 so that I will be able to participate in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in New York this fall. As a fundraiser I am planning to sell silicone/rubber bracelets with a witty/funny statement about breast cancer on them. I’m just not sure what they will say. Any suggestions?????????
