Not being able to go ahead with the transplant had to be a little frustrating for your husband. But the good news is that he’s in a positive holding pattern and the meds are still working for him. Slowly his stem cells should regenerate and he’ll get another try at collection.
There are quite a few members in Connect who have had auto-stem cell transplants for their MM or other conditions where they could use their own cells. I had a different blood cancer where I needed to use a donor’s cells. The tranplants share some of the same protocols however. If you and your husband have any questions about the transplant process don’t hesitate to ask!
Do you live near the facility where the transplant will take place or would you need be relocate for the procedure?
