  Once again I need some advice or insight from those with far more knowledge than I.
  Hypothetically speaking if a person has the severe stages of prostrate cancer and must undergo orchiectomy, LHRH agonists, antiandrogens, and estrogen what might they be looking at?
  I recognise some of these from the wiki. Is this similar to the start of HRT and SRS?
  Also; would the estrogen bring back the hair loss from chemotherapy?
  I haven't found anything to show me if these are similar.
  Any help you dear sisters could give would be cherished.

Time will bring back your hair, The loss of DHT will promote fuller hair growth but only time will regrow hair damaged by chemo. Not having T coursing through your veins will mimic HRT to a degree, nothing will change SRS except the knife.
