WE all have different reactions to the Rads and Chemo. I had both in heavy doses , after they removed my teeth for them and rad seed implants in my tongue following the rads & chemo. I never lost my hair and was shaving 2 weeks after Discharge.When I got the implants, I was out in space for 6 days and have no memory of the week plus a few days before them and no memeory at all of a few days after discharge. I guess I did evreything that I wasn't supposed to do including a fast recovery . I was just told by my Pastor, that some had given up on me making it. LOL Try to tell everyone that I am tough and a fast healer. I believe your attitude makes the healing go your way. Don't ever say I can't but have the positive outlook. Nancy, if you post somewhere else, althio I have no idea why you would, post and let us know where you are.
