Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / December 2004The Hair is Gone Again!
I had hoped my hair would stay in its place another two weeks, untill after The Nutcracker, but it has been falling out for five days and now it is GONE! Back to my wig! But I am also suddenly continent- wierd things these PCa treatments do. Danny the Bald Which is better -- a wet cat in yer pants or a shiny pate? And what do you think my young, 245-pound, body-builder bud -- whose shaven head is his chosen hair style -- would say about your "hair problem"? ;-) I KNOW what he'd say; it's his favorite expression: "wig, schmig". I'd far rather have to take a break to powder my head than to change my cat. I also suspect I'd have more luck handing the prettiest lady in the vicinity a powder puff and asking her to powder my pate (presuming she knows what a pate is) than tossing her a diaper and asking her to change my wet cat. Hair today, gone tomorrow, but dryness is forever . . . or so we hope.

You've gone through a lot and have inspired a lot of folks with your positive attitude, please keep it up.

I was going to ask you how it happened with the hair thing. My BIL is undergoing chemo and was told he'd lose his hair, but he didn't know how it would go. His treatment was about 10 days ago and his head is still full. They told him about two weeks.

But I am also suddenly continent- wierd things these PCa > treatments do. > > Danny the Bald The effects of chemo really vary from person to person. I had taxotere and emcyt throughout the summer (2004). I didn't lose much hair from my head and beard, but my eyebrows thinned out considerably, and I lost ALL of the hair below my neck. Considering that I am/was a fairly hairy guy, with hair all over my chest, legs,back and everywhere else you can imagine, my wife found it to be quite a treat. I had anticipated losing the hair on my head and so I executed a preemptive strike there. You cannot imagine how convenient it is not to have hair to wash, dry, and otherwise waste your time. Its all growing back now. I even have a fuzz on my previously bald patches. Vernon > Ha!

More and more, just falling on your shoulders. When I began looking like a Hiroshima survivor I just took my electric hair trimer and razor and cut the rest off. >Ha!
