Hi Lori, I just want to thank you for all the wonderful information you provide. I have CEL and am told I will need a transplant sooner than later so this is very helpful. I am so impressed that Mayo has this group. There is nothing like this at the hospitals I went to and I really applaud Mayo for supporting it and you for your continued efforts to help everyone. My diagnosis feels very scary and your tips continue to help and inspire. So, thank you.
Warmest regards,
Debbie

Hi Debbie! Sorry for the delay in responding. My husband and I are on our 2.5 day trek back to Wisconsin after spending the winter in a warmer climate! Time to be responsible adults and head home. ☺️. All of this couldn’t or wouldn’t be possible if I hadn’t gone through with my bone marrow transplant.
The first few months after can be challenging, but it is so worth the effort. It gives people like you, @mary612, @kt2013, @katgob and so many others of us the opportunity to have a second chance at life when our diagnosis without a transplant isn’t all that favorable.

So, thank you for the kind words this morning about Connect, Mayo for its support of our forum and letting me know that I’m helping to make a difference for anyone facing a bone marrow transplant. My goal is to offer inspiration, encouragement and hope…and I’m always here to answer any questions you might have.

When it’s time for your transplant can yours be done with your own cells or will you need a donor?
