Gazing into the Past

The Bearded Truth
Considering how the chemotherapy turned my facial hair thin and gray in a few weeks, now that it’s been two months since the treatments ended I wondered if the change was permanent. After keeping myself clean-shaven, I’ve been letting my beard grow back in and, so far, it pretty much looks and feels like it did before the chemo. I don’t really care one way or the other, except that it’s significant as a possible indicator of my recovery.
