• Spencer Kobren – Hair Loss, A Cancer Of The Spirit

  In Archives, Hair Loss, Hair Loss Treatments / By The Bald Truth / 8 December 2012

  This week on Spencer Kobren’s The Bald Truth, Spencer discusses an email he received from an 18 year old guy who began losing his hair at the age of 15, and who has learned to come to terms with living life as a young hair loss sufferer. Later in the show, Joe Tillman calls in to give his thoughts and to give Joe from Staten Island a piece of his mind for continuing to say that hair loss is a worse fate than cancer.

  Hair loss has always been considered an inevitable part of fighting cancer. Every year, The American Hair Loss Association receives countless e-mails from women across the world diagnosed with cancer who claim to be just as terrified of chemotherapy-induced hair loss as they are of their cancer itself. Sadly, many women are willing to consider alternative unproven treatments, just to avoid losing their hair to chemotherapy.
