Hi

There are a couple of support groups based in the Uk. The first that comes to mind is BE BOLD. Do a search and you will see they hold a conference for children and adults every year.

If I can pass on any further info just pop in and say hi. My daughter lost her hair when she was 12 years old - she is now 21, so hopefully my experiences may make things a little easier.
