Privacy > Cosmetics If you lose all your hair, everyone knows you have cancer, whereas if you have your hair, you can choose who to disclose that information to. The proximal difference may be the unsolicited comments (most of them well-meaning, but still jarring), but there are probably more that I haven't thought of because I haven't walked a mile in their shoes. Even so, I imagine it would easily be worth $2K to me to not have a glaring billboard that advertises my physical ailments publicly where ever I go. (I'm visualizing wearing a t-shirt that says "I have strep throat/whooping cough," but you know, more serious...)
