I'm not a guy, but I do like the 5 o'clock shadow look!  Hope that makes you smile Tig. wink

Hi Tig,

The weirdest thing happened to me. I barely lost a strand while on treatment, but as soon as it ended i was shedding like crazy. I just thinned out a bit, but it has all grown back!  Hang in there!

Hey Y'all,

Since we've been posting more individual information about our post treatment recovery, I thought I'd add to the list. I woke up this morning and went about my morning as usual. After two cups of coffee and catching up here, I went to brush my teeth. So far so good. Then I looked in the mirror disbelief and was met with a shock. I've worn a full beard my entire life, wouldn't know what I'd look like without it. That was til today. The hair on the left side of my face fell out sometime during the night! Not all of it mind you, but an area about 3 inches in diameter right where my cheek is. Couldn't have been better centered in my face! All of my hair had thinned out but it seemed to be recovering nicely. I think I mentioned that recently. My only course of action was to shave it down close. Now I have one of those stubble look beards! I've been tugging on the rest of my hair all day! So far nothing else. I'm not sure I'm going to be too anxious to look in the mirror tomorrow!
