have been that it always has increased activity level and quality of life in those on whom we tired it, BUT if the adrenal growth is carcinoma then fur may not regrow. Still, we are currently getting very prolonged excellent quality of life for one with a huge adrenal carcinoma that showed symptoms suddenly after already being too large for surgery without ligation of the Vena Cava (and she is someone who would not have had a good chance with that surgery) so as far as quality of life goes we are not about to care that she is bald since she is happy, very active, very playful, and alive a good deal longer than expected so far since the deslorelin seems to have slowed the growth of her tumor by a remarkable degree while reducing some of the more important effects that the tumor was causing.
