Hi @mnhygiene1983 and welcome to Connect! Congratulations on your autologous stem cell transplant! Thank you for sharing your very honest experience with this procedure. I hope it brings @itlooksunny some peace of mind for her husband’s similar stem cell transplant coming up!
Being able to use one’s own stem cells is less traumatic for the body and recovery is usually much faster than with having to use donor cells. I think your information will be really encouraging for others about have a similar transplant.
Wishing you continued success and speedy recovery. Though the body is going to take its own sweet time so no pushing! ☺️ Rest when you need it…your body will tell you!

How far did you have to travel from your hometown to be able to stay at Mayo for the procedure?
