I have got permanent hair loss on my head/scalp, and even almost 17 years after I had the treatment, I am still annoyed at it being gone, and not as confident as I was before the treatment. I have tried wigs/hairpieces but they are blindly obvious and I don't really like them much.
I cry when I see photos of myself before the chemo and radiotherapy treatment, because I just want my hair to be back, so I can at least do something with it, style it or whatever. People say they understand, but they have no idea what it is like.
I say to them, 'you can shave your hair off, but yours will grow back. So don't go telling me that you understand!'.
I get so downhearted from my lack of hair, especially when someone has taken a photo, and I can see the full extent of the loss.
I just wish there was a way to restore it............. :(
