thin on top

When I finidhed A/C I had a six week preriod before and after surgery and my hair was growing in great. After week 5 or so of Taxol and Herceptin it thinnied out a lot on top and my eyebrows thinned too (also elsewhere). Know I have loads of hair on the sides and back and hardly any on top. Before I felt like I looked like a soldier, now I feel like George Catanza from Seinfeld. I wondered if any of you had trouble with your hair growing on the top? I am feeling desperate enough that I am using Minoxidil on the top of my head to stimulate growth. I really feel for people with thinning hair. At this point I would rather have a shaved head. Have any of you tried different products to stimulate growth? or would they even make a difference?
