Side Effects (Hair loss (alopecia)): It's hard being 25 without hair. Talk about low self-esteem. I have been off of treatment for six months, my hair is to my ears. I will never take advantage of the emotional attachment to my locks.

Side Effects (Anemia (low red blood cell counts)): I battled with Anemia through my whole process. The worst was the last two months of treatment. I had to receive Neupogen shots. Those shots saved my life, but were horrible.
