Hi @anitasharma! Happy New year to you and your family! You’ve had quite the past year so this is new, fresh start! ☺️
It’s amazing that your husband will be coming up on his first Cell-ebration or first Re-birth day as we say. That’s such a milestone and definitely one worth celebrating.

As for travel, first ask your husband’s doctor/team if it’s ok. But if he’s been feeling well and up to travel, there really shouldn’t be any reason not to go somewhere to celebrate. I was post transplant 7 months and we drove down to our winter home for a couple of months. When asking my BMT team if they knew of any reason why I shouldn’t, even my doctor replied, “We didn’t do all this work to save your life for you to sit around! Get out and enjoy life.” So we did!
At that time, I was receiving some infusions and my nurse coordinator made arrangements with a local hospital where we’d be in Florida, to complete my weekly medications. It worked flawlessly.
If there’s air travel it’s advisable to mask up and be mindful of germy situations with large indoor crowds, that type of thing. But you know the drill. You’ve been living it the past year.
Always so great to hear from you, Anita! My fondest wishes for continued robust recovery for your husband and health and happiness for you and your family. 🥰
