Sally, I had my transplant with a 10/10 donor in April. My hair had just hit my shoulders from losing all my hair with breast cancer and then MDS. I thought for a 2nd before i said yes to the transplant, would my red hair grow back again grow back? Well, as my zoom friends in Breast cancer.org said, I am looking now like Annie Lennox. My hair is red but more brown and some grey. The 2ndtime i got out my beanies and bought more. Headcovers.com and other places have cute hats.
I had my transplant at City of Hope in CA. All the preconditioning and Day 6 to transplant were like what Lori shared. She walked me through the steps right here. The main procedure is fairly standard in many research hospitals. Up to Day 100 differ. No matter what, comeback here. I am 292 days past transplant. A day at a time.
