Hair Friday, gone Saturday

The first round of chemo did its job on his hair.  He went to work on Friday with a full head of hair and a full beard.  When he came home on Friday night, he mentioned that he kept getting mustache hairs in his mouth.  I tried to pinch a small amount of his beard and it came out in my hand.  We both looked at each other, knowing what was in store for us. 

He took an adhesive lint remover paper and placed it on his face figuring he could remove the really loose ones that way, and that worked nicely so the beard shaving wasn't bad at all!  He then placed one on his sideburn and it got up a bit higher to his temple and out came a huge chunck of hair.  Another look of incredulity!  Now we knew it was time for the head shave.  As luck would have it, he had an appointment with our hair dresser for the next day.

By Saturday at 11:00 am he was clean shaven both on face and head.

Slowly the rest of his hair on his body is coming off, but this is taking longer.  I don't understand how the process works... it doesn't all happen at once, as he is still getting some new hair growth on his head, but it is sporadic and patchy so he needs to keep it shaved.  Same with the beard, though that growth is very very slow.
