yep had hair loss around the radiation line at back of neck was coming out in handfuls lasted about 2 weeks , know some of the guys 5 monthndown the line still don’t need to shave under neck as well that’s one problem I don’t have yeah.  

My hair is much thinner than itvwas luckliy Oncologist said don’t cut it San it’s shoulder length n hid the area where it fell out. No problem with voice for me. 

Inwill pm younaboutbEric  as well

My voice is ok, a small patch on the back of my neck is affected regards hair loss but nothing to worry about, no beard growth under my chin now and its a little patchy on my face but I assume it will return.

My partner hasn't lost hair on his head but his stubble hasn't grown. Today I actually thought he'd shaved whilst I was out, no he hasn't shaved for a week and his stubble is sparse. One positive from treatment I guess!

Hi Graeme,

No real noticable change to voice apart bit gruff first thing and no real hair loss apart from back of neck hair not growing back in or neckline but nothing noticable..

Note - electric shaver only and no alcohol based gel/cream advised.

Hi Ian, im same neckline and bit higher as my rays are coming from behind to protect voice, but im losing it now, very hit n miss croaky, i wonder if im gargling mouthwash too far back,will ask consultant, although the usual "every one is different" may be their answer as i have seen others get it, hopefully temporary. I sing and play guitar for a living so they were at pains to convince me they would not go near larynx . Some rays inevitably will so hopefully temporary, no panicking over it.The secretions have started, come and go but jeez, vile at times!
