Chemo Kid Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have used this website as a tool for over a year now researching hairloss and my options. I'm currently at the point where I need to find out if a HT is something I can afford so I decided to post. Currently i'm 26, but at 22 I lost my hair due to chemotherapy treatments from stage 2 testicular cancer. Unfortunately that means I am unable to take hormones such as Prepecia to aid in my hairloss reversal. I guess being competely bald, though only for a short time, has given me a complex and I need to start doing something about my receeding hairline. With that said, I'm not sure where to go from here. I would only consider using a recommended surgeon but unfortunately I'm over 100 miles away from any surgeons listed. I need to figure out my cost(i.e. number a grafts) for the procedure(s) I would need and online calculators don't really seem to help. Should I take a day trip to go see a surgeon or do I have any other options? I'd just hate to drive 200 miles to be told my goals will cost me $20,000 when that's just not realistic for me right now.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted August 2, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2010 Chemo Kid, Have you considered doing an online consultation? Our community offers a free online consultation service, as so many of the recommended hair restoration physicians. It may be something to investigate if driving to see a surgeon is not an option. I hope this helps! Please, feel free to ask any additional questions.
