Anyone experience Hair loss after brachytherapy only?

@naturegirl5 I had my check-up with my GP yesterday, and she said the hair loss was most likely from stress, sudden weight loss (12 pounds in 5 months??), or maybe some hormone changes, but definitely not Brachy or even the hysterectomy. She said that minoxidil topical will definitely help, and she believes the hair will grow back. I might give it a try.

@njp515 This seems like good news to me. Sudden weight loss sounds likely. If this were me I'd give the topic a go.

Did you try to lose that weight or was it due to the surgery or radiation therapy?
