Hi, I'm going in for my first autogolous stem cell transplant as the next stage in my aggressive treatment for multiple myeloma, presently considered as an incurable bone marrow cancer. In short, they draw out your own stem cells, freeze 'em, give you high-dose chemo (to kill your marrow), then ingraft your stems back to regrow your marrow.
Some risks involved, but not as risky as allogeneic version which uses donor stem cells; I do that two months AFTER I recover from this. I have high risk category and younger than most sufferers, thus the extreme, one-two punch attack.
Could use your thoughts and prayers, even for a brief second right now before you forget.
Seriously, this little community has been a lift for me after my own personal struggles and it has been healing to me to offer my thoughts and advice...so thanks for the interaction and I hope to be interacting again soon.
My best to you all on your journeys,
See you soon,
FormerSelf
