Well it has been nearly 27 years since I had ALL, but still no hair regrowth where I had 'prophylactic' cranial radiotherapy on the top of my head. Every time I see what I look like, see the adverts for hair and hair products on the tv, my self confidence in my appearance goes down. I would love to have some hair back so that I can style it and feel good about myself again. I don't know what options there are that I can turn to. This lack of self confidence is affecting me applying for jobs, as I think that people look at me strangely or the interviewer would not like the way I look.
