my husband's beard is permanently gone only from the area on his throat where the heaviest radiation was. His chin-whiskers have returned. His hair was pretty sparse before this whole adventures, and is more so now - but that might just be genetics.
I hope that you will be able to get some help with you swallowing soon.
Be wishes!
