G'Day Tizz,

I only lost about an inch of hair up the back (direct line through the neck from rad) and when it came back it was very brittle and dry. It is still a bit finer than the rest, but the natural oil did return and I can't tell the difference. (Of course, my friends tell me that nobody could tell anyway since the rest is fairly long and thick )

I didn't fair too well with the teeth issue, but they weren't the best anyway, so that may have had a lot to do with it. It also didn't help for me in that I didn't do very good at all in ingesting nutrition for too long of a time after rad. (Didn't have any vegemite sandwiches where I was )

Peace
Jack
