Good morning, @anitasharma! I couldn’t have started my morning on Connect any better than with this message from you! I’m over the moon with happiness for you, your husband and the whole family with this joyous news of your husband’s cancer journey! All the months of chemo for ALL and then his stem cell transplant are on the other side of that huge mountain! I truly know the sense of relief you’re feeling now after the months of worry.
You have so much amazing news to share! This all feels like a symbolic awakening or renewal period, doesn’t it? With your husband’s positive, steady recovery from the BMT, the Permanent Residency granted, your children returning to the nest and your in-laws able to see their son for the first time in 3 years. I admit, this news made me pretty misty-eyed this morning. It’s an emotional time for your family. And you’re all now a part of my family here in Connect so I get to be emotional too! ☺️
I’m excited for your husband and parents to finally see each other after such a long separation. Face time is great, but doesn’t replace a hug! As a transplant patient myself, remembering meeting loved ones after a long absence, I was so happy but exhausted. Your husband may not want to take naps or breaks from visiting but he needs to listen to his body. So it’s ok for you to nudge him occasionally to take that nap! LOL. I remember feeling so exhilarated and kept visiting, but then I paid for all my over activity with being exhausted for a day or two. I found if I metered out my time it was better in the long run. Also as a reminder, since there’s air travel involved, his parents should be cautioned to wear masks on the planes/airports and also around your husband…to be on the safe side.
It’s been an honor and privilege to be able to help you throughout your husband’s BMT adventure. You never wavered in your faith, strength and devotion to get the best help possible for your husband. No matter how strong we are, from time to time we all need a lifeline. I’m so glad that you reached out to Connect. We’re always here for you.
Please give my best to your husband and have a wonderful time with your family…and a huge hug for you!
Please keep me updated!
