I had Cis and rad and I lost all of the wiskers below my chin due to the rad and I lost all the hair on the back of my neck also due to rad where it exited. I was told my chemo would not result in any hair loss. I have regained my hair on the back of my neck but I will never have to shave below my chin again. That's a good thing.
