Hah, if you're a boy, the hair/beard loss is a bit easier, but as Cheryl said, for us girls, it's a bit of a mind game. I lost a 3 inch wide path on the back of my neck from ear to ear. I had my hair short at the time, so I wore lots of scarves, and then let the rest of it grow out to cover. Today, one year after rads, I finally have little spikes of hair back in that area, but I have let the rest of my hair grow down to my shoulders so it's completely hidden. You find a way to work around all the new things, especially eating. GOOD LUCK.
