I was interviewed on the Whose Health Is It Anyway? podcast...

I'm a member of a few FB groups related to my health situations. In my alopecia group, a lot of people hide their hair loss in their day to day lives. In 2019, I was let go from a job when I first started losing my hair so from that perspective I can understand the desire to hide it. People also post in the group asking for advice on how you deal with the hair loss, affirmations that are helpful, etc. This got me thinking about my journey with losing my hair. I think because there were so many other things going on with me health wise and personally at the time, the hair loss was just another thing on the list and not a surprising side effect of everything. But I also feel strongly that because I had spent time working on myself prior to losing my hair, losing it had no affect on my self esteem. Which also got me thinking... if you feel like you are (or would be) nothing without hair then you were/are probably nothing with it.

I have never seen my cancer explained like this before...
