This Arkansas father decided to shave off all his hair — dreadlocks that he'd been growing for the last 10 years — to match his younger daughter, who lost her own hair after starting chemotherapy.
Kevin Stokes decided to cut off his dreads in May to support his younger daughter, Nova Stokes, as she underwent chemotherapy.An Arkansas father is showing his love and support for his 1-year-old daughter in a very special way.
Nova was diagnosed in March with stage 4 neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that can affect young children's nerve cells, according to the National Cancer Institute. At the time, she was just 9 months old, and her parents would've never guessed the diagnosis she would receive when they noticed she didn't seem like herself one day this past spring.
"It was really a shock to us because we knew she wasn't feeling well when we took her to the emergency room," Kevin Stokes said. "I think cancer was really the last thing on our minds when we spoke with the doctors." After her first round of chemotherapy back in April, Nova quickly started losing her hair. Even though Nicolette and Kevin Stokes said they knew it was something that could happen, it was still startling to witness."It happened so fast. Like, it honestly happened in a span of a day. It started to fall out the previous night, and then the next day, it was just like over half her head was bald, so we went and just cut the rest," Nicolette Stokes said.
