Well even after it being 20 years clear from ALL, I still have things that I am trying to resolve, mainly about appearance and confidence in what I look like.
I guess the main issue is that following 'precautionary' cranial radiotherapy, the hair on the top of my head has never really grown back, just the same as my eyebrows.
These things really do make feel very self conscious about what I look like when I am meeting people, or going for a job interview. With the job thing, I know people say they shouldn't judge by appearance, but I am afraid they do.
I would love to get some semblance of my hair and eyebrows back just to give me back my self confidence.
If anybody can give me any suggestions as to how I can get my hair and eyebrows back, then feel free to reply to this blog.
