    No problem.

    Yeah basically watch all shedding dude. Comb, sink, pillow, hands. If you make a concious effort just to check these things a couple of times a week you will definitely notice any increases. Normally balding will come with a significant increase over a period of X amount of days/weeks.

    For me it was an increase in shedding for weeks. Then it slowed down for weeks, almost normal again and then back to weeks of heavy shedding. One day I caught a glimpse of my scalp in some bright overhead lights and I could see all the way through my hair. I was/am a diffuse thinner. THat means at first(For years) gradually thinned out all over. After a few years of that my temples started to recede.

    I believe my diffuse hairloss was a lot to do with the fact I had testicular cancer at 23 and had aggressive chemotherapy. Although the specialists claim it shouldn't cause permanent hair loss, it certainly permanently thinned mine out. It basically never fully grew back, was softer, diffuse and left me with a couple of bald spots on my vertax . It also left me with thinner sides by my ears. To add insult I think then a few years later I started to get MPB and the rest is history.

    Hey man thank you once again, and I am really sorry for your disease, really happy it got cured. . Health > hair.. . Well I would say chemo can have quite an effect on hair. Maybe your shredding wasnt due to androgenic alocepia, but chemo damaged to focullies, and they got so weak your hair starter falling out, and then when your temples started to recede it was actually AA. I hope you maybe find a way to get your hair back, or to restore some bits. You have been a great help, take care
