For me,
'Lori's words-------------When in reality, while the first few months post BMT wouldn’t make the top ten list of enjoyment, the outcome is an opportunity for a 2nd chance at life. That alone can be worth the effort and potential risks.
I honestly took it a day at a time. After i had each chemo in conditioning. In the hospital and the whole experience. and asked myself how i felt. My 100 days after 24 days in the hospital was at my friend's home. Day 100 i went home. Up till now, 1 year, I have had no GVHD.

Thank you for sharing your experience. If I get the green light to do the BMT, I know it won’t be easy. I am working to get my full strength back right now and gaining weight back, (I lost 30 pounds after the my tow stays in the hospital). I’m still waiting for the transplant coordinator to reach out and discuss my situation. It will involve a 30 day stay in the hospital and then staying close to the hospital. Thankfully, I have family in the area that we can stay with.
I am very positive and feeling really good.
It is so helpful to have people like you who reach out with their positive experiences. Thank you!
