Beard coming in much thicker after Stem Cell Transplant?
I have been dealing with Multiple Myeloma, a rare blood cancer. As part of my adventure I got a Stem Cell Transplant - which starts with a powerful dose of Melphalan - which totally wiped out my immune system. After this I was given back my harvested stem cells to rebuild my immune system.
Well, the chemo caused me to lose all of my body hair, including my beard. The hair on my head is coming in curly (it was wavy before, now it's almost kinky) and my beard is way thicker!
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this after chemo? Especially after Melphalan? Anyway, having a thicker beard is nice...
