I LOVE IT! Pete, I'd go with your comment, absolutely. I've had a moustache since I was 15. During rad, it took on a "different" look...the left side lost the dark whiskers first, then the grey ones. Before long, I had a "half-stache".

Since it went well with the loss of hair on the left side of my head, I just left it all as it was.

Since my fibula removal left me with a walking limitation, I use a Segway to get around. I was quite a sight; me on my Segway, handicapped placard on the bars,no hair on the left side of my head, half a moustache, and this big ole scar on my face and neck.

I found it hilarious; people just about tripping over themselves to open doors, then watching them realize I looked very "different" and then tripping over themselves trying to look anywhere but at me.

The moustache has come back for the most part, and the hair on my head is almost back to normal. The whiskers on my left cheek and neck are gone for good. That's O.K....wasn't planning on growing a beard again anyway. The last time I did, it was more white than dark, and that was just depressing.
