Hello
I am just weeks ahead of you in SCT; It is Day + 4 for me. I have had periods of 24 hr IV's: the day before and after translant and chemos. I had plenty of anxiety getting everything arranged mostly due to being a single gal and not having a partner to help with home and pet family. The Hospital has been able to prevent nausea to date. Diarrhea is another matter. I am receiving the last chemo off Cyclophosphamide today. Had I known I would have had that kind of diarrhea, I would have changed to hospital clothing beforehand. I have found v-neck shirts the best for the central line. I have an assortment of pj's and sweat pants that I can wear for 24 hours. I did bring snacks to help with nausea but since it is being kept at bay, I have not really eaten them.

Hope you are doing well- my BMT is delayed to Feb '26 to get markers a little lower. Stem cells harvest is complete. 👍🏻

Praying each day is better for you!! 🙏🏻
