guys, I'm on Adriamycin and I've lost all my hair. It's pretty depressing when people stare at me whenever I step out. It's really affecting my confidence and making it hard for me to interact with people. Has anyone else dealt with this before?

One person shared, "I was diagnosed with alopecia at 8 and it's been a rough journey especially since I'm a female and hair is like a girl's beauty. I grew depressed and self conscious because of it... Over time I've adapted to it and it doesn't bother me but I always wish I had it and that it'd re-grow so I didn't have to wear a wig." Another person mentioned, "after a month of chemo and I am shedding everywhere... im just sad". They received responses such as "Watching my hair fall out was really tough and made the whole thing feel more real and scary. It's okay to be sad about it, and it's okay to grieve this change" and "Losing my hair was a shock to me too... What helped me was focusing on the fact that it meant the chemo was attacking not just my hair but the cancer cells too."
