Hi everyone,

First I’d just like to say that I’ve been looking through this sub for 3 weeks now. And there are so many amazing people, with insane strength and all of your tips have been amazing.

In an attempt of minimising my partners stress. I have taken on much of the work in order to reduce my partners stress whilst navigating her diagnosis. Including research, appointment making, purchasing ointments and vitamins etc.

My partner has one medium size (golf ball) patch on the back of her head that is currently fairly easy to conceal.

After almost 3 weeks since noticing the first spot she has no new spots. Though the overall shedding is getting worse.

I fear it getting worse though she is staying as positive as possible god bless her. She is hoping like many best case scenarios that exist. That she deals with this spot and maybe a few in the future after this one heals.

My question is. How can I prepare for drastic changes whilst letting her not stress about the whole process?

Would you consider it overstepping for me to buy some bandannas, headbands etc.?

Also for anyone else out there with boyfriends doing the wrong/right things. Please let me know your tips. She is aware that I am researching and planning. But I just want to make sure I’m not overstepping. Usually I’d communicate this with her. But my main priority is managing her stress and being loving and supportive. Maybe I’m going about it the wrong way?

**For this interested her current treatment is as following.**

\- Steroid injections (every 6 weeks)
\- Clobetasol and Monoxidil topicals (alternated once daily)
\- Prednisone 25mg for 2 weeks. (Then doses halved every 2 weeks until finished).

On top of this she has increased her protein intake. We are vegetarian and our diet is already very low inflammatory. Lots of leafy greens, Legumes, Healthy fats. Loving a few drinks is probably our main downfall. But we eat super lower processed as a whole.

She is currently taking the following:
\- VIT D
\- OMEGA 3
\- Probiotics
\- Iron
\- Biotin supplements
\- Zinc
