    Cancer drug "erases" fingerprints.

    They'll probably be restored once he's off chemo and the skin can grow back. ETA:...Unless he wants to become a "Man in Black"!

    (They deleted J's fingerprints in that.)

    I burned my index finger and went to the bank and tried to get that fingerprint reader to get my ID...that was tough, So I can imagine what that poor dude had to go thru.

    I wonder what will happen, it his prints will grow back!

    I'll bet his prints will be the same as they were before. He is the same
    person.


    Chemo drugs can cause a lot of changes in the human body, but when
    the treatments stop, so do the effects. (in me anyway )

    I heard this story on the radio today. His prints do return after the chemo is finished.

    I had the same type of cancer but was treated with different Chemo drugs. I lost my hair that returned. I would expect his prints to return. Side effects like neuropathy do not usually get better after chemo stops.
