I was sitting at my desk yesterday pondering some obscure marketing idea and how best to implement it. As many bearded men are wont to do, I was running my fingers through my beard hair.
Then I noticed a moustache hair on my lip, so I pulled it off there. When I did, I noticed a few others stuck to it.
This is what I saw on my desk. Apparently the “hair loss” portion of the chemotherapy has started. I was told it was likely to happen after my second chemo cycle, but apparently I’m a little ahead of schedule, since chemo isn’t until Monday.
I’ve been joking about this for a while now, since I’ve been a head-shaver for about 15 years now. I didn’t think it would bug me, but it is, a little. I’m gonna miss my beard.
