Dalilah Agbisit, a 22-year-old soldier at Fort Stewart, Georgia, is sharing her experience with cancer treatment on social media. She has been undergoing radiation therapy for stage 2 acinic cell carcinoma, a rare salivary gland cancer. This treatment has caused her to lose some hair, which prompted her to reach out to her father, Adam, in Washington state. In a video, Agbisit showed her father the clumps of hair that had fallen out due to radiation. Adam quickly responded with humor by mimicking her actions. He touched his own head to show that he too was losing hair, even though he is already nearly bald. This lighthearted moment brought laughter to Agbisit during a challenging time. Agbisit appreciated her father's ability to keep things light. She said his humor helps her cope with stress, whether it’s about small problems or her current health situation. Excited by their interaction, she posted the video on TikTok, where it quickly gained popularity, gathering 2.3 million views. She explained that she wanted to share their funny exchange because it felt relatable. Agbisit thanked everyone for their support and clarified that she would not lose all her hair, just some from the treatment area on her face and neck. Her treatment continues, and she looks forward to more joyful moments with her dad.
