Not to mention certain medical treatments cause alopecia, the most notable being chemotherapy and radiation. Often times within weeks of starting. When the radiation, chemotherapy, or other medicine is stopped, the hair usually grow back within a year.

Not true. I work in PA, which is an at-will employment state. Though they can technically fire you for any reason they so choose; they still have to have a lawful reason to fire you. Most states, if not all, have laws protecting from discrimination due to a medical condition (as well as others). This would make Tony's case clearly wrongful termination. Even if this happened within 90 days of hiring. The real trick is going to be proving that that was why you were fired. Even if they do not give a reason on paper, or their reason is different than what you suspect/hear; they have to show reasonable cause to support it in court.

then ur boss doesn't know shit

you know that could cause a law suit because u have a hair loss disease.

sue his ass for wrongful termination

I smell a lawsuit coming on. they can't fire you for a medical condition.

you must sue, it's illegal to fire because of medical conditions like that WRONGFUL TERMINATION!!

not only does that suck...but it may suck for the boss because thats provable descrimination that can cause him to be party to a law suit for wrongful termination. But maybe its for the best as a much better job with a better boss awaits

To all of the people saying the OP should get a wig: **** off. Wigs are damn uncomfortable. My aunt had cancer which caused her to lose all her hair and she wore her wig as little as possible, because it gets hot underneath and it's itchy and disgusting. Then my other aunt got cancer, too, and said the exact same thing. Heck, even if I didn't have anyone in my family with cancer, I could still say this. Ever worn a wig for Halloween? It's nasty.

At least most of the comments here are somewhat sympathetic, but it makes me sick to see the people saying it's OP's fault and that she needs to do something about it. I know what she's going through and it really does take a hit to one's self esteem, among the other problems such as losing your job over it. Of course there are ways of covering it up, such as wigs, but people have conditions of all kinds that will make them look different and employers really need to be more tolerant of it. I have so much respect for you OP. It sounds like you respect who you are too, and don't feel the need to hide it. I wish more people were like you... hell, I wish I was like you :P
