Radiotherapy: Day Sixteen

I'm past the halfway point and am getting very bald. In the last week I've lost most of my hair. What's left has been shaved down to mere stubble. I can honestly say, while it doesn't look great, it doesn't really bother me either. While I have no problem with going bald, it does look a bit odd. My hairline looks like it's from a future me, while my face still enjoys the youthful looks of someone in their early 30s. My second chin still looks the same. You can have look here:



So what to do? I can either grow what's left and pretend nothing has happened, or do I go the full 'Duncan Goodhew?' I'm edging towards the latter. At least I have some control and can say it's a lifestyle choice. The only problem with that is I consider shaving my face enough of a faff as it is. Perhaps I should simply grow a beard. That would not only keep my daily shaving time to the same as it is now, but I would also have the same amount of hair, just in a different place. The options are almost endless, but I would appreciate your input.

Other than the hair loss I'm not feeling any other symptoms. No tiredness or nausea. That could possibly be a treat for the last couple of weeks. As usual I'll keep you up to date.
