Hi Stanley

I don’t what treatment you have had but the bald patch on the opposite side of your head is probably caused by the radiation beam exiting your head.

At three weeks post treatment you should be past the worst of the side effects so hopefully the hair will stop falling out soon as the exit dose will be lower than the entry dose.

it’s nice to hear your hair is starting to grow back.

Take care
