Hair Transplants for cancer survivor?

KirstenEve
Hello my name is Kirsten Shupe and I am 32. When I was 15 I had a brain tumor, medula blastoma. I had 2 brain surgeries and a few months of high dose radiation treatments leaving my once beautiful thick head of hair sparse, thin, and bald in some areas. Is there any type of permanent treatment, like hair transplant or hair plugs that I do? Please tell me if you can help!
