WD,
I have a full head of curly {brown but greying fast} head of hair. At least I did untill I started on Testosterone replacement! I don't know if its a quoincidance but it started receiding and thinning on top shortly after I started "T." I couldn't care less but to answer your question, I had plenty when I was diognosed w/ PC!!
Your greying balding friend,
Pete

dht has been mentioned as one of the main reasons for BPH and hair loss. Proscar cuts down on the bph and possibly the hair loss, but has sise effects. My urologist recommended to take saw palmetto,---saying just as good as proscar---but does not have side effects
