Good Morning and thanks for reaching out to my post. I did not have a donor for my BMT, I supplied my own cells. My story goes back to September 2022. I had a stress test and failed it, my luck! I ended up having a quad bypass done on September 29th. During the work up for that they found my carotid artery on the left side was 70% blocked. So after recovery from the heart surgery I have the carotid surgery. It was during that surgery they found a node that was large. Sent it for review and it came back I had Mantel Cell lymphoma. Started chemo in April 2023 and had the BMT December 2023. To say that was a challenge is an understatement. I have been battling that since. I am on maintenance every other month for two years. All my cells are way below where they should be and as I stated in my last post the RBC have fragmented and have bite cells also. So we are working to figure that out. I have to also state my doctors and nurses have been fantastic. Love them. I have an amazing support group and I have my faith. With all that has happened in the last two years I am blessed to wake up each day to the wonders of life. Now just get over this next hurdle and I will be looking forward to my 66th birthday and seeing what is in store each day. Hope you have a blessed day.
