While I see your point, I think it's wrong to keep information from patients that might affect their treatment choices.
It's 16 months since I finished chemo and I'm still wearing wigs. I have some very fine hair on back and sides but so thin on top you can see my scalp. I have nothing on my high forehead but a few thin wispy bits in the middle that look silly. I cannot grow a fringe. I'm just all bare forehead and temples with fine fuzz and a few fine hairs on top. I feel old and ruined. I would desperately like to know if there is anything out there at all that can help. Do hair clinics offer anything? They are very expensive and I have no idea what to try although I am trying Rogaine and it's been two months. I will keep on with it but I have no idea whether there's value in it.
