You will have lots of posts by tomorrow. I had MDS and a BMT in April of last year. We do not all get all the side effects and just know that the transplant medical team is all over any side effect we might get. The chemo i got was not fun. I lost all my hair in a few days, but my nausea was treated in so many ways. They take your vitals every 4 hours while in the hospital. I was in the hospital for Day 5 before transplant to Day 26 after transplant. I was blessed going home to have little wrong. I had been in a research study to prevent GVHD and up until today, day 307 past transplant I have had few real problems. I will say i follow all directions as best as i am able. Medications, eating, walking, sleep. Be good to yourself.
Where is your husband being treated?

My husband is being treated at Mayo in Rochester, MN. Should we be proactive and shave his head instead of waiting for hair to fall out? GVHD I dont know what that stands for? My husband, Dale, is 68. Oh by the way my name is Bev!

My husband is plus Day 26 after transplant. He also had MDS. Your posting was so reassuring as we continue to navigate this journey. Thank you for posting.
