    Rob,

    It seems like, from what I've read, most survivors grow hair back - just not necessarily the same color. Mine was darker.

    Beard

    MY situation is the same as my first post with no growth on the right side where the rads were. Just kept my mustache and goat. No worries I am thankful for every day.

    Mine was a thick full beard but now it’s patchy and thin. Was hoping to find something to help get back to normal however I am thankful to be a survivor. 18 months post radiation
