Hey Lori ....I would like to thanks to all the Strong People here for your Cancer Journey !
So, My husband diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) and Yes Doctors Suggested for BMT within 2 months . My Son could be Best match as a Donor .Well before talking to you all my mind was very puzzled ,but m getting relaxed as I got to know so many things here which is making me prepare in advance for my husband BMT in future. Sometimes its really tough to manage job, home, kids at home, hospital appointments and off course financial battles with mentally physically so exhausted .We all should be thankful to God that we are blessed with so many things in life that these CHALLENGES are just temporary and comes into life to make us more Strong. We are unstoppable and one day we all win the Game .
Stay blessed beautiful people
Thanks again !

Hi Anita, the reply I wrote before was in response to your husband having AML. I see in a later post that you did refer to the diagnosis as ALL instead of AML. My brain didn’t get the memo. 😅 So some of the information I gave wasn’t exactly detailing the particulars of ALL. But the basics of the BMT remain the same. Your husband’s current immune system is compromised. Having a new one, from donor cells, may help to help keep him remission. That’s the goal.
There are very encouraging statistics regarding transplants for these cancers.

I love your family attitude!! Being a team will get all of you through this! You’re so right, this health setback is temporary. And while some of these challenges can feel insurmountable right now, there is hope after transplant for a return to a fairly normal lifestyle. Your husband will just have to be mindful of avoiding illnesses in crowds, etc.
I’m here for you along with the rest of, what I call my BMT Posse…to answer anything on your mind.
Has your son been tested as a match yet?
