Wowza! What a great forum here! I am in the process of having a BMT for my Myelofibrosis. I absolutely want all the information gleamed from this group! Though I am terrified by this whole process I am also very excited to become free of cancer!! Thanks again for the info. Especially Lori for sharing your information in such a clear and personal fashion.

Hey @dirtycowgirl. You had me giggling with your @name! I’m sure there’s a story!
Well, welcome aboard the BMT hay wagon! You have come to a great place to have access to the collective wisdom of many of us who have gone before you, for our various blood cancers.
I’m 6 years post transplant for AML and in full remission. A good friend of mine, whom I met while we were both undergoing our transplants, had her BMT for MF. She’s cancer free, bone marrow is healthy and producing blood cells normally.

Whatever I can do to help ease your fear, please let me know. This obviously isn’t an easy process but it can be the opportunity of a lifetime…or should I say a 2nd lifetime.

Is there anything specific that you’d like to know to get started?Do you have a date for your BMT? Donor lined up?

Hi! I have a tentative admission date of August 8. SCT for MDS. I am looking forward to staying in touch with this wonderful group, with those that have already gone through this and those currently going through this journey.
I have always loved roller coasters. I would feel excited & a little scared at the same time waiting for my turn to get on the ride. I feel like I’m about to get on the roller coaster!
