Did you lose your pubic hair with radiation, and if so, did it come back? Just curious ... certainly not a big issue.

Ooops ... I found this info in another discussion item in March ... however, would still like to hear your experience.

    Very funny your yahoo. I had a biopsy on my perineum today and my friends father had prostate cancer and had radiation also, and I asked if he was burned at the perineum, and he said at the taint, and I said taint? Taint the vagina and taint the rectum, lol never heard that before.

    Sounds very individual. Wonder where I will end up. Pretty much a cue ball down there right now! :)
