Sorry I’m a little late to the party, but I wanted to chime in with my experience. I had a BMT in July 2020, and I am doing great! My biggest issue post-transplant has been liver enzymes getting out of whack, caused by GVHD. They have gotten elevated three times in 4 years, and once they were “terrifyingly high” and I was hospitalized for a few days. However, now they monitor them regularly and adjust my meds as needed. Otherwise, I am enjoying life as I did pre-transplant - golfing, playing pickleball, going out with friends and family, and traveling. I know it’s scary and you may have some tough days after the transplant, but I found the chemo beforehand to be the worst part of the process. I wish you all the best, and I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
