My eyesight is worse, how about you? I wonder if that gets better after.

I just did shot 24 of 48 on Thursday night.   Going for 24 week blood draw this week.  Sides seem to be getting a bit worse - probably the addition of weekly procrit and neupogen which is particularly not fun for me.    While I'm happy I'm this far through, 24 weeks (to Sept 7) seems like a LONG time

Results back from 24 week bloodwork back, and still UND!!  Nioxin shampoo system working pretty well to keep hair from looking too thin.  20 weeks to go!

Alan...don't worry.  My husband had a bad receeding hairline and thinning hair at age 24.  He uses that as his excuse... "well I was going bald so I figured I would join the Marines" :)  He shaves what hair he does have left now so yes, use those lemons!! :)

I am losing a lot of hair, too. It is all over everything. There is still a lot on my head, too, but it won't be for long at this rate. I have never thought about baldness, even temporary. But when they serve you lemons, make lemonade. I'll figure out some way to spin it positively. Maybe get a big earring for the left ear and a bandana for the head. That'll keep 'em guessing.
