Good morning, @deb913 Today’s the big day; The proverbial first day of the rest of your life…your second chance at life!! I just wanted to drop in to wish you well today with your stem cell transplant. I think you’ll find, like the rest of us who have gone down this same path, that all the hype leading up to this was more exciting than the actual ‘transplantation’ itself. It only takes about 20 minutes and is pretty anticlimactic. Works the same as a blood or platelet transfusion.

It’s not a walk on the beach however, as the next couple of weeks might have you feeling a big loagy. Hang in there! While there may be a few challenging days ahead, ultimately it’s worth the effort.☺️

I’d love to have you join the rest of us in this discussion where we’ve shared our transplant adventures! Our stories have become survival guides for others who are about to embark on this life changing, life saving procedure. If you have any questions, need reassurances or some hand holding, I’m right here for you along with our merry group of Chimeras…we have your back!

Let me know how you’re doing, ok? Air hug!
