Gino,
When I was going through my treatments my doctors told me that the chemo enhances the effectiveness of the radiation.
As for hair loss, I had it only in the radiation field. The hair on the back of my neck grew back. I don't need to shave the left side of my face any longer or below my chin. I did not lose my hair due to the chemo.
Good luck,
John
