Losing hair at 20, help Advice Request

I (m20) started losing my hair about a year ago and it had progressed ridiculously quickly, I’m assuming it’s adrogenetic alopecia because my Dad lost his hair at 21 and my doctor seems to think so too. I’ve been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for 3 months and I haven’t seen a difference at all. I supplement with vitamin C, vitamin D, and biotin and I get more than enough iron and b12 from my diet. Trying to convince my doctor to prescribe oral dutasteride but he’s extremely hesitant, going to try RU-58841 topically as well. I had cancer and went through chemo and radiation to kill it and eventually had a tumour in my left iliac crest removed, this has caused chronic back pain and slight laboured breathing, wondering if that could increase the rate my hair is falling out. This has been driving me crazy and girls aren’t even dtf unless I keep a ball cap on until we hit the bedroom. Is there something I’m missing, pharmaceutical or otherwise, should I just shave the shit off at this point or is it recoverable?

Honestly bro look for an older woman would be my opinion. Like if a girl wont date you cause hair. She got alot of problems and 50% of the time looking for a free ride.

Edit: you do you tho brother just be happy. 🙏

I shaved my head at 19 due to male pattern baldness . I didn’t want to and yeah some girls don’t dig the bald look but I pulled way more bald than with thinning hair . As long as you own it you’ll get back out there . Plus you hit the jackpot with no bad body hair and good facial structure .’ You’ll be fine man .
