		<description><![CDATA[The most common question in cancer world.  "But, will my hair fall out?" Oncologists anywhere will tell you they try so hard to explain cancer treatment.  What it will do to the body.  How each patient is different, but most will have to endure some kind of side effect from the poison.  Nausea, cramps, weakness, [...]]]></description>
