My Captain's mother is dieing with cancer and he decided to shave his head because the radiation was making her loose her hair. He shaved it off after we were on the boat. Before we got off he told his 5 year old grandson, he had shaved his head and had no hair anymore. The 5 year old told him "GOOD! You had wore that hair do out anyway, it had holes in it!" (referring to his bald spots)
