Oh wow, a two-fer with you and your friend. You’ll share war stories and few similarities but her recovery will be a titch more lengthy and involved. But you’ll both be able to empathize with each other as the weeks progress.

If there’s any other information you need, just pop the questions in here! And invite your friend to Connect too! We’d love to both of you be involved in our discussions on BMT/SCT or any other of the 70+ support groups where you might share information or experiences if it fits.

Here are a couple discussions for you and your friend might be interested in joining.

Will you and your friend be at the same hospital?
