Hello Group
 
I need some advice for my 85 year old mother.  She had a colostomy done 4 
months ago due
to diverticulitis with partial bowel removal.  We almost lost her to pneumonia 
after the surgery.
She is clinically blind.  She had a cancer (6 mo ago) in her ear that was 
removed and small radiation done on the spot.  The doctors didn't tell her they 
did radiation until much later.  She has started losing her hair.  This has 
started happening in the last two months and it is coming out by handfuls.  I'm 
afraid she is not eating a proper diet, maybe not enough protein.  She lives 
with my daughter and family.  She was always very healthy until this last year.
Anyway, I need some advice as to supplements that might help her retain her 
hair.  It is the one thing
she has left that she enjoys having fixed.  I don't know where to start on this 
one so I am turning to
you guys.
