(THE BLAZE) – An Arizona mother of six, who lost her hair permanently after heavy doses of radiation treatment, has a full head of hair again after her son grew out his hair for more than two years so that experts could fashion it into a wig for her.
Melanie Shaha was first diagnosed with a tumor in her pituitary gland back in 2003. At the time, the tumor was the size of a plum. Though benign, doctors removed the tumor because it was growing rapidly and could affect other bodily processes, like hormone regulation and fertility.
When the tumor returned in 2006, doctors removed it again. By the time it returned a third time in 2017, Melanie and her medical teams elected to go a different route and shrink the tumor through radiation. Though her doctor initially told Melanie that the treatment wouldn't cause her to lose her hair, it fell out anyway.
