Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 1,409 | I had IMRT ending first of June. My beard hair has pretty much all come back, save for the area around my radical neck dissection scars. Alas, the hair on the back of my neck and behind the ears is still missing. My dermatologist said that this hair tends to grow back within 3 or 4 months if it's coming back at all, depending on radiation dose. I'm past the 4 month mark.... but I still hope!
