Fighting cancer is not easy. Someone suffering from the disease has to stay very motivated to undergo the process of treatment like chemotherapy sessions. In such situations it is your family and friends that you seek support and motivation from. And with awareness about the disease spreading across the world there are several people who stand in solidarity with such patients.
In one such act of solidarity, a barber shaved off his own hair along with a woman cancer patient. In the clip shared on the micro-blogging site Twitter, a woman can be seen sitting at a salon while the barber shaves her head. The woman can also be seen weeping. After finishing shaving her hair, the barber also shaves his head in solidarity to the surprise of the patient. They both then hug each other.
“No one fights alone! He shaves off his own hair in solidarity with a cancer patient,” read the caption of the post shared by @GoodNewsMVT.
