Hair Transplant anyone?

So my vanity plagues me, I'm on watch and wait for 4.5 years, last blood count around 60k. I know many of you have bigger concerns but i can get one of these hair transplants for not much in Turkey, which would seem an improvement to my half bald look. So is this a bad idea medically speaking and would it even work? Thank you!

I think a shaved head is very masculine! Mine sure is 😁. I would not take any infection risks to do anything about it. Embrace the Bruce Willis looks I do. Work those muscles instead 😉

Sounds a good plan! I guess infection risks are always the biggest risks for pple with CLL.

My son in law started going bald in his mid thirties. He decided to embrace the baldness and shave it off. My daughter loves it! It made him more aware of his appearance and he started working out. He said it was the best thing for his health. It is a very masculine look. Sally
