I never lost any of my hair due to the chemo and I was told I wouldn't but like everyone else I also lost the hair on the back of my neck which did grow back and I also lost all of my whiskers and only the ones above my chin line recovered. I now don't have to shave below my chin ever again and that is THE ONLY good side effect of my Tx, other than killing the cancer.
