Most of us are in on the "secret" that Lynne shaved Andy's head prior to heading to the Philippines, but why? According to her, Andy's hair was falling out from his radiation treatments, so she shaved it into a mohawk and then took off the rest shortly thereafter.
But wait! If Andy was losing his hair from radiation treatments, why oh WHY does he still have his thick chest hair and trademark unibrow?! As someone who knows a fair amount about cancer, I can attest that chemo and radiation don't discriminate in which hair they cause a person to lose--be it facial hair, head hair, pubic hair, or any other kind.
What's more, hair loss from radiation is usually limited to the area that receives the treatment. If Andy had lung cancer, why would he receive radiation treatments to the head and not the chest? If the hair loss was caused by chemo, why didn't he lose any of his OTHER hair?
