This may sound a little strange, but................

If you already have a moustache and/or beard when you start HT, do they fall out??

I completed my 5th SRT treatment today - so far, so good.

Tim,

Not a strange question at all as most of us would want to know. I havent had HT so cant answer it, but I can tell what falls out after radiation. And it's not above the waist line.

I don't have facial hair, but I am still shaving after being on HT for about a year. My body hair and my head hair is thiner, but I never was a hairy guy. So, my guess would be that you can keep your beard.

I've had 2,3 month Zoladex implants. No noticeable change in facial or body hair.

Insert picture of my dad's crazy beard here :) To answer your question, my father did not lose his moustache or goatee or (however you spell it). He did lose leg hair and body hair, but the hair on his head and face remained.

Have always had a good set of hair but after 5 months on Lupron it seems thinner/lighter but now I only need to shave once a week. Moustache same as always.
