Dealing with hair loss after radiosurgery

Hi @Lucas

I assume you’ve seen @corrine’s hair loss journey: there are a few good examples. I agree with you that accepting it is probably best. It will most likely resolve in a similar way to her experience.

I managed to get through an embolization without any impact on my hairline. I do know that Corinne had something of a marathon embolization session, so it could be to do with the degree of x-ray exposure or it could be a stress-related thing. Best thing is to accept it as a badge. It also allows people to see that you’ve not been well and be able to talk about it. Often, when there are no external signs of what we’ve been dealing with, people around us assume that we are more well than we are and yet it takes quite some time to get better.

Good luck with it: it is very helpful to have a male viewpoint on this as well as the understandable distress that some of the ladies go through with losing hair.

Very best wishes,

Richard
