When we lose our hair, be it due to chemotherapy, Alopecia areata, or other causes, we feel as if we are entirely alone, the first and last to be truly shocked and devastated by our hair loss. Our mind may know better, but in our heart, we feel alone. I try to remind women they are not alone. There are many of us who understand exactly what you are going through.
I ran across a video posted by a woman in the midst of her hair loss due to chemotherapy. She provides practical tips for taking some control of the situation and even having a little fun with it. I hope you find it helpful. To view the video, go to:

Hi Susan,
Regarding the part about checking into a hotel to lose your hair, I too questioned that part. If I have cancer, am undergoing chemo, and losing my hair, I want the comfort of my home, not a hotel.
Thanks!
