Today is my 16th year post Stem Cell Transplant I had my transplant at just 19 years old. Proud to be here the most important thing I learnt from having Cancer is ‘Perspective’
I have a SCT in two days. Due to my Hodgkins Lymphoma not going away after 6 months ABVD + 10 sessions of radiation. Now I'm on GDP awaiting the transplant. They're harvesting my own cells and reinfusing them 2 weeks later. So I'll be my own donor. That means there's a chance that some cancer cells make it back into my body during reinfusion and that scares me. The whole thing scares me really. I'm more afraid now than I was to receive chemo. It's a daunting procedure but here's hoping it gets rid of my cancer for good. Wish me luck.
I'm on my first year after stemcell transplant and feeling better. Two years from first diagnose AML, but I wish the best to all those who are going through this. It's not easy, but you know what they say. Keep it positive and keep it going strong. ❤🙏
To anyone out there who’s going through this (or something similar) be brave, stay positive Never lose your sense of humour and plan something to do with your loved ones next year… it REALLY helps My support network was constantly chatting with my family and mates about life the universe and anything else that came up They were great and without them recovery would have been much harder Well done Paul Well done Paul’s family and friends It’s a long road but You’re getting there 😬
Today i got a letter to say im a match for someone needing a transplant. I registered 3 years ago and thought no more of it until today. I called DKMS who im registered with (and Anthony nolan) and they said im the best match so far and if i would be willing to do a blood test to see if im 100% compatible. I said yes. So tomorrow i do bloods. In 3 months we will have the results if im the one to save this person.....surreal feeling to know i potentially could save this unknown person
Good luck! I had a transplant in 2014. Then my MDS came back in 2019. So I had my second. It's been a year an 6 months .everything is good. I had a problem with my lungs .pneumonia. I'm on oxygen now. Hopefully I can kick this ass too. Good luck in the future.
My husband was diagnosed in May with MDS and high risk to AML. He had a transplant in October and relapsed few weeks ago with AML. NHS won’t pay for another transplant since he relapsed within 6 weeks. Just very hard for us at the moment. We’re looking into going to Kings college hospital for his treatment to fix it.
I've been registered as a potential donor for a few years now but never got a call so far. It's actually comforting to think my "genetic twin" as we call them here is healthy :) Although I must say this story was very uplifting and motivating. Great job.
Finally managed to get and send my sample today. Trying to get registered as a possible donor. Got green light for donating blood just less than a year ago as well. Now at 30yo I'm doing my all to be as helpful as I can be.
While on venetoclax the aml will stop followed by a low level chemo shot! It's called targeted therapy .... Much more mild treatment Then a stem cell transplant and your cured
Hi Jack Hey we have the same last name. I was diagnose with MF1 in June but prior ET Dr. took me off Hydrea. now going thru blood trans due to Anemia and blood tests bone marrow biopsys to see where the levels teardrop cancer cells are at.

Reading this helped. I’ve got mine in 5 weeks and I’m having the same feelings and doubts. I’m glad I’m not the only one, hope you’re feeling better.

After how much time a person is able to do daily tasks (walking cooking and all) after stem cell transplant.. my father just had his at 62 years old

How are you doing today Paul? I didn't get a BMT. I did go through the chemo induction + 5 more chemo sessions. I've been AML free since January 2015.
What risk your aml?
