The boy is suffering from hair loss, one of the side effects of the chemotherapy being used to treat the disease.

Cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs are used to destroy these cancer cells by inhibiting cell division, but they also affect normal cells, particularly those of the bone marrow, skin and stomach lining.
