stem cell transplant? sounds serious! your health doing well?
Yes, Stem Cell Transplant. Diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, Stage III last December. Started Chemo in January. In July my cancer was down enough for a Stem Cell Transplant, but COVID would not allow it. Finally in November I could go to Houston to have it done. Started the process Nov 4th. Got cleared to go home on Dec 11th.
Yea, its pretty serious. While in patient for transplant, second best nurse to patient ratio there is, only ICU has a better ratio. Chemo does there before transplant was extremely hi. Once it killed all my white blood cells, all my plasma and such, I got the stem cells transplanted to rebuild my blood.
Hopefully my cancer will be in remission for 12 plus years. I'll be on a maintenance Chemo the rest of my life.
Other than the two months at MD Anderson it has not slowed me down, first ten months, while doing chemo I rode 28,000 miles.
