    I like you attitude Becky!!! Sam's first spot come when she was 5 and by the first half of Kindergarten last year it was almost all gone and she has been wearing a wig ever since. She has, at least now no inadequacies about her hair loss. She wears a wig from the hair club from men. Do you and your mom know about the program they offer kids. Sam gets 3 free wig a year and can have up to 8 free services. She can swim in her wig too and uses a swim cap for extra support. She only swims in it occasionally, but will wear a swim cap in the summer so her head does not get too much sun. Her hair is growing now. Have you ever tried anything?

    Hi Becky, feel free to have your mom write to me when she has a chance. The pictures of sam you see are in her wig from the hair club. At your age if you not doing any treatment where you want to keep the wig on, they will glue it on. I know of another gal on here that glues hers. Sam is getting her 3rd wig for the year next month and they hold up very well. She is actually wearing the 1st one she got in Aug and does not like the 2nd one as much for our own reasons. there is nothing wrong with it. It is now starting to look worn 9 months later. Go to www.hairclub.com. You mom just needs to call to get an application and needs a doctors signature b/c of the adhesive used. We the pediatrician sign it. If you look into it now you can be swimming in hair by summer. It takes about 10-12 weeks to get. As far as treatment, Sam's has been doing squaric acid for the last year. As you can see from some of the photos her hair is growing back. I have posted different stages of her growth. Her most recent are the pics on purple. If your mom wants some info on it before you apt please have her write me. I don't advocate for any treatments b/c it is a personal decision and eveyone's body responds differently. Best of luck to you .
