I had an allogenic transplant, along with @alive @edb1123 @kt2013 @jenmkr63 @timt347 and several other members. We’re all happy to share our experiences and answer any questions you might have.

Here are a few of our conversations:

All of us are in various stages post transplant. I’m coming up on 5 years so I’m about in the middle timeline of our group. Having a stem cell transplant offers us a second chance with life. It isn’t a guarantee because there can be risks and sometimes a relapse, as in Tim’s case. But it is worth the effort.
Where are you having your transplant? Will you have to relocate and stay in the clinic? Do you require a full time caregiver?
