I was told before rads to tongue and neck that I would have a permanent bald patch around the ear area, but I now have no facial hair growing anywhere except a small area beneath my nose. Does facial hair come back or is this the new normal (as I don’t like facial hair,‘I’m not worried. Just curious). How long did it take you for facial hair to come back?

you are making me think about that! I don't hear my husband shaving anymore so that might answer your question!

I am now 2+ months post rads and I am only now starting to get some stubble, except in the treated area. My mustache survived treatment though. My beard was always a slow grow, so I guess I'll wait and see what happens.
