    Do you have Wegener's?
    I clicked on the link in andrew's one and only post. It is a clinic in India for hair transplants. I think we just got a brochure for medical tourism.

    My hair was falling out really bad all over when I got diagnosed, doctors put me on 350mg Cytoxan and i had more fall out. my doctor said it would come back when i got off Cytoxan. but i don't think he accounted for the male pattern baldness that runs in my family. hair on the sides of my head are thick again but the top is lacking.

    350mg./day of CTX is a lot! I hope it worked well for you. Nope, male pattern baldness would still apply to those who inherit it, I imagine. As a female, my thick hair had already started to thin before I took CTX, as is common , I think, in middle aged women, and the drug just intensified it a bit.. Now that I'm off CTX, the hair is coming back in, slowly. I've heard of hair coming back in thicker after chemo, and can only hope. So far, the color and texture is the same as before.
