Cancer, chemo and hair loss?
Can you experience hair loss just from the cancer its self (I possibly have lymphoma) or is it just from treatments you have like chemo.Thanks.

No, cancer doesn’t cause hair loss. Hair loss isn’t a symptom of lymphoma.
Many, but not all, chemotherapy regimes cause hair loss – some just cause hair thinning and some don’t cause hair loss
It’s usually just the chemo, but I’ve lost hair from weight loss and I’ve had to have it shaved for surgery.
