I was retired when diagnosed in December 2023. Began treatment similar to yours Jan 2, 2024. I returned to my part-time job at the golf course, in March, which is a physical job with no difficulties. I stopped working in August when I had a bone marrow transplant and returned back to my part-time job with no issues.
Keep a postive outlook, stay active physically and mentally and enjoy life.

Welcome to Connect, @bobh055. You’ve certainly had a few medical adventures since you retired. Though I’m guessing you’d rather be on the golf course than spending so much time visiting doctors and clinics! ☺️

Thank you for sharing your positive story of having a stem cell transplant for MM. With your speedy recovery and return to work, I’m assuming you had an autologous stem cell transplant using your own cells. I’m happy for you that your life is back on track!

Did you have to relocate for 6 weeks or so while undergoing the transplant?
