Wanda, he will loose some hair from the exit radiation at the back of his head. This generally grows back. The extent would depend on the irradiation plan. Also he may will be able to throw away his razor except for trimming sideburns.... although that too seems variable. Now at almost 2 years out, more and more patches are coming back.

As far as cisplatin/carboplatin is concerned... it certainly did nothing (hairwise) in my case and most others here would agree wit that. Enjoy the peace for the next 2 weeks and let him enjoy any food that he might like before the radiation kills the taste buds.
