Twin sisters shave hair after one is diagnosed with cancer

So when twin sisters Joella and Joanna Lee-Lo, 25, got the devastating news one of them had cancer, there was no way the other one was going to let her sibling go through it alone.
On April 3, days after the country went into Covid-19 lockdown, Joanna Lee-Lo was at the emergency department at Middlemore Hospital after continuous complaints of a sore back.

Right from the beginning, they were together.

Three days later, she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia -cancer of the blood

 and bone marrow that affects white blood cells.
Her twin, Joella, told the Herald of the moment she heard the diagnosis via telephone.

"I was at home with my two younger brothers and my older brother went with my mum to the hospital.

"I asked him to put the phone on so I can hear and as soon as I heard that word, I couldn't stop shaking. I was an emotional wreck.
"It was good my brother went as my mum fainted."
Within days of going to the hospital, Joanna was transferred to Auckland City Hospital to start chemotherapy treatments.

Because of lockdown restrictions now in place, no one could be there for her as she underwent her first round of treatment.

"It was such a hard time for our family and especially me. Being a twin, when one is sick, we're both sick.
