The re-rolling hair thing is *fascinating*. Like turning them on and off randomizes the initial state/balance the system struck when you were first growing hair. Also in my experience, anxiety is like gravity. It can only be additive. Health anxiety just makes work anxiety worse and vice versa. Glad you're feeling better and enjoying your new beard!

I was just talking about this with one of the other patients at the cancer center I go to. My hair grew back in curly. She went through chemo twice. The first time her hair grew back in darker. The second time her hair grew back in red and curly. Another patient had never had freckles before and developed freckles after chemo. It’s crazy how much it affects every small part of your body.

Not a doctor of any sort, but I think chemo having this effect might be it slightly damaging your cells?? I know that we’ve got 2 copies of every gene, and sometimes they don’t match, and every cell is constantly dying and creating replacements, and mistakes accumulate in this process over time. That why hair goes grey as we age, the hair color making genes make too many mistakes and stop working. So maybe all the hair growing cells or genes or whatever being killed all at once increases the mistakes in the replacement cells? So if you had a recessive trait in your hair color the new hair shows it better or something. This is all just a guess though.

it's weird how it seems to almost reset your system. Maybe some day the scientists will discover that killing so many cells isn't just killing the cancer, but shoving our bodies into using different unexpressed parts of our DNA in order to survive the onslaught of poison pushing us to the edges of life to survive. I wonder if anyone has ever considered doing a little DNA check post and prior, just to see if being 'cured' is exclusively due to the poison, or if the body shifts to a different gene to keep it from reoccurring.

I relate a lot to the "I don’t have it bad enough to deserve help, compassion, attention" guilt. For me, it's extremely related to my OCD subtypes. You probably don’t have OCD, but health anxiety and severe guilt can easily become OCD. So please be careful and nip it in the bud if you start to develop OCD symptoms

Beard tips if you decide to grow it out (which I recommend; if you grow a lot of facial hair, shaving your whole face is a nightmare): - use beard oil; softens the hairs and makes them look nicer - two fingers above your adam's apple is a good beard line - use specific beard wash and beard conditioner

But I've watched them anyways every time somehow, and I really think this is part of why. A lot of this is stuff I feel she would have expressed if she got the chance, and I do think that, in a small way, this helps to channel her voice. Don't feel guilty for surviving; survive for other cancer patients (and yourself) and be real about your experiences, because a lot of others didn't get the chance... And they're important experiences. You're so valid, and I deeply appreciate you talking about cancer. It's rough, and it feels almost taboo to bring it up because of the discomfort it causes.... But it's important, and life happens during cancer, after cancer, thoughts are born because of cancer... But they need to be shared, they need to be heard. Thank you

Yes! Hair changes were the most unexpected post chemo effect for me. After 43 years with stick straight hair, it grew back curly. Poodle curly. But as I was getting used to ringlets, my hair changed again, to slightly wavy with extra gray. Sigh.

A past colleague once told a story about their hair after cancer. They got cancer in school around the start of winter break and had it pretty easy all things considered, they were done with treatment and their hair was growing back by the time they were back in school. Some girl he knew noticed his hair was different and touched it and found that it was incredibly soft. She asked him what he put in his hair to make it so soft and he had the privilege of getting to see her face when he told her "oh, just a little bit of cancer". He had a good laugh about it.

As a beard-grower who also didn't start until well into adulthood, I empathize with the "I'm asking questions that a teenager would ask" feeling. I can pass on what I learned, and hopefully it helps anyone reading this: -first: folks with beards tend to be more open to talking about and complementing each other on their beards. I did not expect to receive compliments from strangers, but I opened up to it and learned a lot from other beard-havers that just wanted to share care tips. -once you know what texture your beard will have: look for someone with similar texture to get recommendations for care tips (see advice #1). Mine is medium-curly with relatively thin follicles, and my care techniques may not help someone with dense/thick curls, or light/straight hair. -for some beards: beard oil is NOT a luxury product. I didn't want this to be true for me, and my hubris led to lots of itching and painful tangles that weren't necessary. If find your new beard to be really itchy and easily tangled, try oiling it and combing it after a shower. Side tip: scent-preference is important. You will have to smell it all the time.

Yup, another option is to not wash your beard with shampoo all the time, you can just wash it really well with just water and optionally add conditioner to keep it nicely oiled which protects it and keeps it from itching

I find that nice oil scented soap bars play nicely with my beard, they seem to moisturise the hairs about as well as oil does and is an avenue into floral and fruity scents rather than the traditional wood scents you usually get. Obviously this is something to test as it seems every beard is different.

Was going to say just that. There seems to be 2 explanations that I've heard a lot. One is that the body recognize the feeling of anxiety, which triggers anxious thoughs (as that is the usual cycle, either thoughts - >body or the other way around, according to cognitive psychology). The other explanation seems to be that the amygdala is working way too hard and just basically overactive. Doing stuff that calms the amygdala down does seem to work for a lot of people. Hence the 'you should go for a run when you have anxiety or depression' advise. Less can do it, like yoga, laughing, or doing any kind of exercise.

@@tonycampbell1424 I appreciate the encouragement haha I'm like eight years on T and can nearly grow a full beard now, though. I really resonated with Hank's experience of asking those questions and checking out other dudes' facial hair, just the general insecurity and excitement, at an unusual age relative to our peers. It opens some interesting reflection about masculinity, aging, gender expression, rites of passage, genetics, and a whole host of tangents from there.

I remember having a teacher who had multiple rounds of chemo across several different experiences with cancer. Each time she lost her hair, it grew back thicker and darker. It was so strange to watch it happen over time. She taught multiple grades, so I was her student from the age of about 10 until I was 18. She also had children during this time, so I remember her very clearly as this super petite, thin blonde haired soroity-looking woman when I was a child to a dark brunette with coarse hair and a filled-out body when I was an adult myself. It was surreal to experience that transformative period in my life along with *her* incredibly transformative period of her life.

Thank you for this. As a cancer "survivor" for going on eight years now, I still struggle with survivor's guilt and impostor syndrome of being a survivor (to the point that I feel like I don't deserve the term and use quotation marks when talking to people). Others have had cancers far worse than mine, and despite going through mastectomy, chemo, radiation, and long term medication, it felt like I had the cheat code as my cancer mutation was of a low grade, and thus, not as aggressive. I've shared my experience with others going through chemo/radiation/surgery because I remembered how much I *didn't know* going into treatment, and how much learning from someone else's journey helped me. And yet I could not shake the feeling that I'm an impostor for sharing my experience, as if I don't deserve to share it. You have no idea how much I needed to hear your perspective. It was healing. Thank you.

My mom was a redhead before chemo and ended up having the same auburn brown hair that I do once she entered remission. It also went from straight to wavy. She loved her red hair, so it was incredibly difficult for her to process, but we also all found it super interesting. She's been in remission since 2006, and it's still auburn and wavy to this day! But she's also in her 60s, so at this point, we're more in awe that she still hasn't had a grey hair yet. Genetics, a weird side effect, or both? Time will tell!

I've lived with severe health issues my whole life, starting with being born with a tumor in my spinal cord. Like you, I can walk (ish) and not wear a diaper, so I've often felt like I'm supposed to feel grateful for that, instead of horrified at what I go through every day. One truth I've learned through that is this: Everybody's problems suck for them. Everybody's pain hurts for them. There's absolutely no use in comparing or in judging someone else by how they deal with their own pain and problems. Everybody has the right to complain about their suffering, and everyone deserves to have those complaints validated and sympathized with. It's a fundamental human right to seek that kind of catharsis. I used to compare myself to Steven Hawking... how much he did with his life, with much worse health problems and more pervasive disabilities than mine... and how little I've done with mine. But I've come to accept (most of the time, anyway; it's still a struggle some days) that that's just not a healthy mentality, or a valid comparison. I'm sure it was horrifying to be him, to have his body take away more and more capability... but that pushed him into his mind, with nowhere else to go. Would he have done all he did if instead his most harrowing symptom was _pain?_ Which comes with relentless wave after wave of sternly reinforced depression and emotional and spiritual exhaustion... I dunno. Maybe he would've. Maybe not. Does it matter? Nope. He had his issues, and dealt with them how he dealt with them, and I have mine, and... everybody but me seems really impressed with how I've faced mine throughout my life, so I can only conclude that there's just no point in comparing. Feel how you feel, and don't judge yourself for it. Sit with your feelings and be at peace, brother/sister.
