    Hi Tamara! I saw your post in the Newly Diagnosed group. Just wanted to comment on that that it seems to fall out at different rates for everyone. I was diagnosed on May 2nd. So far I've lost about 60% of my hair, I'd say. There's really no way to know what will happen and when.

    I'm so jealous that you live in the Bahamas! I LOVE the Caribbean. I've been to the Bahamas once, but not since I was much younger. I'm going to St. Maarten next March for the 3rd time. I LOVE island life!

    Hugs,
    Mandy

    Yep it was May of this year. When I first noticed the spots it was pretty much denial shortly followed by depression. But luckily, I found this website right away and I was able to reach acceptance very quickly and my sadness was very short lived. :o)

    Hi Everybody

    I came to the conclusion that the cream I am using is not working. Discovered that one spot got larger and shinier and another is becoming more defined. Very disappointing.
