OK - I'm a bloke and while I know all about hair loss it's different I know.

My wife Melanie was very unconcerned about her hair loss she did ask me to shave her head when it got too bad and she took the opportunity to outrageous ear cuffs she was of an artistic temprement I think you'd say.

Sometimes other people would find that harder - a woman with a completely bald head does rather shout "Chemotherapy" and accasionally people would find that difficult. So for some people perhaps wearing wigs and disguising the hair loss is as much about making other people feel comfortable.

I was surprised at the VD blog about exactly how much was all about the hairloss when there's so much worry about the seriousness of the actual condition,,the tiredness and sickness that can accompany the chemo - but then you have to remember that she is working in television and the image that she projects to the world is as much her bread and butter as what she says so I guess someone in that position will be hypersensitive to the issue.

As a side issue I did hear from Melanie's consultant that there have been instances of men as folically challenged as myself coming off of chemotherapy and suddenly finding hair sprouting from heads that had not seen it for 20 years!

I think I'll skip it as a therapy though - Hair is overrated I reckon!
