Singer Daniel O’Donnell has revealed his wife plans to shave off her hair before she starts chemotherapy for breast cancer.

The Donegal star said partner Majella is recovering after undergoing a successful lumpectomy and was told last week that she will start extra treatment on September 12.
The Kincasslagh man revealed it had been a difficult time for them, but his wife was a strong and healthy woman who wanted to take control of her hair falling out.
“At the minute she is cutting her hair,” said O’Donnell.
“She is going to have it shaved. She doesn’t want her hair to fall out.
“She decided she is going to take charge of her hair going.
“It’s very short now and her next step after she has her first treatment she is going to get it all off.”
O’Donnell said reports that his 53-year-old wife was clear of cancer were incorrect.
He said he had meant the surgery had removed the cancer but there was still a possibility she would need more treatment, like the majority of patients.
It is not yet known if she will also have to undergo radiation therapy, or if she will decide to undergo surgery to prevent the cancer reoccurring in the future, he added.
