Surprisingly, it is my Mustache that was not only unfazed but invigorated by the radiation. My beard follicles fell off with tne skin and I did not have to shave daily again until this year.
Prior to the cancer, I had shaved off my mustache because it was growing in solid gray. When it did grow back, the hairs were half white and half red/blond and it's a nice handlebar.
I do not miss not having to shave my neck, even now it just scarred skin with zero whiskers and none likely.
Congratulations John on being half way there. I had not found OCF my first time with Radiation so I was very unpleasantly surprised to discover that the first two weeks AFTER my TX had ended were the worst of the entire TX. I had thought that once the actual radiation stopped, it would get better, but it often seemed worse. Just extending my mental calendar would have helped me avoid disappointment.
