A fourth grader in Texas donated her hair to a high school freshman when she learned the teen had been diagnosed with cancer.
Rylee Brooks was starting her freshman year and had just made the varsity basketball team when she started feeling pain in her lower abdomen.
The pain continued, and her mother believed it was her appendix. She was taken to the hospital for scans, and they were told it was a ruptured cyst, but the pain persisted.“I went and got an ultrasound and there was a big tumor, I think 17 centimeters,” she said.She first had surgery to remove the tumor and other spots and began chemo and radiation treatments. During the treatments, Rylee lost all her hair.
Melissa Benjamin Shepherd, owner of Hair Kiss Studio in Lufkin, has made Brooks two wigs already. She will be making this one as well.
