    My fifteen cents on what you can do for your daughter is to stay strong.

    I'm so proud of my kiddo... I'd been talking to her about maybe talking to her class about what's going on with her so they'd have the right information and not end up making things up to gossip about ... she'd agreed that would be best, and wanted me to set it up with the school counselor. Ended up, she decided to handle it all herself before I could even go and talk to the school nurse & counselor.

    All the kids in her class were very supportive, and she feels so much better to not have to try and hide it and worry about what will happen when they find out now.

    Congratulations to your 11-year-old daughter, too! As a father with three daughters, including two teens, I know firsthand that your daughter's courage is to be commended. I wish her great joy and good success. :-)

    Hi "Chick!"
    I know how hard it is to have a daughter with alopecia. I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better about how you can support your daughter. Check it out on my page -- and WELCOME!

    Does Shannon wear a wig? I am planning on going this weekend to get her fitted for a wig. She wants the real hair. I can't blame her. I need what ever advice you can give me. How old is your daughter? It would be nice to schedule lunch together sometime and let the girls meet. I think that would really help Maygen. I live in Paris, which is about 2 hours away from Arlington. It would be nice to provide a support group that could meet face to face, even for us moms.

    I think that we are going to go to a place in Garland that my aunt uses. She has had 4 bouts with cancer. We are going to spend the day trying on wigs and maybe even getting some scarfs. I am hoping it will be a fun day for Maygen, considering all the crap she is going through. She wants a real hair wig. Does your daughter wear her wig when she is playing sports?
