I have no answers, but there is no need to be embarrassed to ask. I would bet that there are several here with the same question who are afraid to. I hope you get some answers for everyone. I’m old enough to have debated with myself about hair color and a nip and tuck. I’ve decided that it isn’t the right thing for me, but had a laugh when I renewed my drivers license. I commented to the woman processing my paperwork that I wasn’t sure what to put for hair color, as I am in between my naural color and my new natural. Her response was to put anything I wanted - that some people have a new color every week- blue, pink, whatever.

Thank you for your post. I am also on I runinib and want to have my ears repierced. I am over 60 and my favourite piece of jewlery are errings.

Unfortunately my ears look rather sad after years of enjoying heavy earrings.

I had breast implants put in a year before I was dx (2006). I am not on Ibrutinib but just finished FCR in Aug. I need my implants replaced so I told my hematologist I would wait till next year to be safe. I get fillers every 2 years, very slight dose and feel great about it. My hematologist told me to wait till now ( 7 months since FCR). As far as Ibrutinib, I would double check with your hematologist because that drug must be stopped before surgical procedures. Bleeding factor. Good luck! 💕

I think you should do anything that makes you feel good that your doctor says is OK. I dye my hair which is also vain, but I didn't feel like looking 10 years younger than I am to 10 years older instantly on top of everything else. Some of my friends want to put me in a bubble and have found lots of things to advise me against, but I ask my doctor and live my life. He has yet to say no to anything other than having more than 2 drinks in one day. Currently on my way home today from a vacation in Bulgaria with my son. Coming home with a sniffle, but my neuts are fine, and that could have happened to anyone.
