Ok everyone my brother typed this up lol (and told me to send it to you guys)
Hello my helping friends,
So my brother finished his 33x Rads to the head and neck area on November 4th. He lost all of the hair on his beard and on the back of his neck where his actual head hair was. Now the hair line has exceeded all the way up to where his ear lobes start. He is concerned to when/how his beard hair + his head hair on the back of his neck will grow. Also a second concern is on the surgical side of his tongue, right after he was finished with radiation... The white coating peeled off on it's own to become an all pink tongue.. Now two weeks after, it's half pink (non-surgical side) and half white (surgical side). Does anyone know if the white coating will become pink again? Thank you all for helping my younger brother by taking time out of your day to cope with his concerns!
