Curious how much radiation before you lose your hair. Vanity is my name I guess.
Thank you.

    You should only lose hair
    in area being radiated so I don't think you'll lose the hair on your head. My hair grew back some time after radiation ended, thicker than it had been in that area of my body most don't get to see.....steve
