Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | I lost the hair on the back of my neck where the rad exited and I also lost all of my whiskers. The hair on the back of my neck grew back over many months post Tx and the whiskers ABOVE my chin line came back but not BELOW my chin line so I now save time and materials when I shave. I also got a Turkey Neck" as we call it from the rad and I was told it would probably go away but they lied to me again. lol
