Chuck,
I noticed a definite decrease in density throughout my scalp post chemotherapy but part of that could be attributable to aging as well.
My father retained a full head of hair until about age 60. I started to notice a decrease in overall density for the next several decades. He is 84 now and very generalized thinning but still has a strong white hairline. Imagine that.
My older brother (59) just sent me a photo and he still has a super thick strong head of hair from front-to-back. My younger brother (56) is a thinning in density but still has a good hairline and no crown loss.
I would have ended up a Norwood 6 eventually had I done nothing. 6900 grafts to date.
Hairloss was from my mother's side and even my mom had advanced loss evidenced in the Ludwig pattern of generalized thinning throughout her scalp.
Very hit and miss in my family. Several of my nephews have MPB.
