Hello, replying to my own comment! My “caution list” of things to eat should have also included luncheon meat either from the refrigerator case or the deli. Sorry but occasionally outbreaks of Listeria with those so elderly or immunocompromised should be wary of those. And one last thing if you’ll tolerate this microbiologist for a minute. Most organisms get into the body through the eyes, nose, or mouth (independent of cuts in the skin) so very important to avoid touching eyes, nose, mouth unless your hands are absolutely clean. Most people don’t realize how often they touch their face. Not cool. My only goal here is to help you be safe! If I can help even one person be a little safer today, I will be happy. I wish you success getting through this health storm, there’s happiness and joy at the other end. We’re all in this together. Just never give up. ❤️

Beautiful post. I ate American cheese. I love Sharp and Havarti and so many others but did not eat them till at least 10 months after transplant.
Being careful with all these suggestions as g4c says, is likely why i have done well since my April 9, 2024, BMT. It is crazy to believe i even had one. I am in NY at the moment, and I took N95's in my bag. So many kids and germs, as Lori said, we can never be too careful. I wear glasses, so nose, mouth and eyes were covered.❤️
