Film critic and author Roger Ebert appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show today. He's been battling thyroid cancer since 2002, and has had his entire jaw removed and has endured multiple surgeries and attempts to reconstruct his jaw. He can no longer eat, drink or talk, but he continues to write reviews and blogs. A full-page photo of him as he looks now recently appeared in an Esquire magazine article.

Besides the example he sets for everyone in dealing with adversity and…

I’m alive! I successfully completed my first full marathon this weekend at the Rock ‘n Roll Mardis Gras Marathon in New Orleans this past Sunday with my Dad. We had beautiful weather (sunny and in the 50s), and there were over 15,000 runners! I was so nervous the week leading up to my race, but on race day I was surprisingly focused and calm. There were about 15 corrals of runners that were started in waves so that there wasn’t a stampede. My goal time was 20 minutes longer than my Dad’s, so…

Well, what can I say... after all this time has past!

It has been over a year now since I lost all my hair.

Everything was going great, so I thought!

Damn! I don't deal with stress as well as I used too.

I lost my hair in October, a year has now past...

My hair grew all back, oh what joy it brought to my…

Hi everyone! Im quite curious as to how many children have regrowth and at what rate? and how often does it regrow just to fall out again? Mikey began losing his hair in october 2009 and recently has begun to show white hair regrowth. The dr said Mikey would have his hair regrow but didnt gurantee the cycle wouldnt repeat itself. Which of course is my biggest concern. Just wondering whats headed our way!! Mikey often talks about geting his big hair back, and we just shaved his head on Feb 8,…

I heard this on some home and garden TV show today, but I feel like it really applies to all of us here who are dealing with some form of alopecia....especially if at one point you had hair and unexpectedly lost it.

This quote really stuck with me. One of the hardest things about having female pattern baldness for me has been remembering how thick and blonde my hair used to be and…

I need to ask you guys a question. I've been looking online to find some answers and there'S not a single website which says anything about my problem.

I had my eyebrows done about a year and a half ago. Now it looks alot lighter than in the beginning. That's actually ok because I thought it was abit too dark at first. Now it'S lighter and it looks like it's a little purple or red / reddish. Do you guys have the same problems? I definitely need to get them done again but I…

Well, I have been dealing with my hair issues for over 10 years and every time I think that I am coming to terms with it, I just go right back down. I was about to give up and go get a wig and broke down with my doctor this week. She said she isn't going to give up on me. I went from a diagnosis of LPP(lichen planopilaris) to now AGA(androgenic alopecia). I was told that there was a patient that had the same symptoms as me that had regrowth on aldactone. I tried it when I was first having…
