The point is you dont have cancer and you have male pattern baldness.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I sincerely disagree with your assessment that cancer is worse. You really don't realize how bad cancer ****s up your body, even the ones you have a "75% chance of living" through. You would likely have painful surgery, maybe those wounds never heal completely and you carry that pain for the rest of your life. Maybe you go through chemo to beat the disease and you lose all your hair in the process and only some of it grows back - that happens.

Or maybe you're in that 25% and you die.

My mom died of lymphoma. I can tell you not only did it end her life, it ****ed up the rest of our families. If you feel this way when you're a NW2, boy, youve got problems.

you did not just say going bald is worse than cancer...

cancer is a disease that has a high potential to KILL YOU, which has a treatment that makes you GO COMPLETELY BALD and makes you feel completely shitty on the inside, keeps you bed ridden, and has the probability of not working anyway.

it completely stresses your body to the point where you will have physical, emotional and mental scars. Many people feel physical pain for the rest of their lives if they are lucky enough to live.

now tell me youd rather have that than male pattern baldness

its absolutely unequivocal.

Ignore that post, he's trolling or clearly has not had first hand experience when dealing with cancer, but it's a troll post. He'll probably reaffirm his point on his highlander name.

Aames,you'll have a SERIOUS problem one day

My advice is to perhaps get off these forums for a start. Coming on here for support can be one thing, but in the real world, we're not here!

Seek medical help for yourself, not for hair, but for your mental health. Get out with people you like and just relax. Get some exercise in there too and try to focus on other things rather then your hair. Yeah it's easier said then done, but look at it, it's eating you day in and out.

Dude, Im sure no-one gives a f*** that you are balding. Friends might make jokes, but they will comment once and move on. That is life.

Very good advice!

I have serious problem right now. I have a very narrow window of opportunity that will allow me to enjoy my life. Everything must go to plan.

You're right. He should've done nothing and waited until he was NW3 and then gotten on meds and get a bad HT.

THANK YOU! I don't get why people fail to understand this. Prevention/early treatment is the only hope unless you're willing to spend a fortune on HT's.

When you get older and see that you are getting ugly what will you do.Also what will you do if propecia cause you impotence?

Aging is the only sure,fighting for youth is non ending,your genes have decided if you'll go bald.
