@andreak78. You’re doing everything right! Learning what you can, but don’t overload. Your BMT will guide you along. My doctor made it a point of telling me that my only job was to focus on recovery. To ‘leave the worrying to him and his team.” And I did! I never lost a night’s sleep from worry.

I know from experience that anxiety builds when thinking about the logistics of all of this, realizing how many little duckies have to line up perfectly! But things do all seem to just fall into place and move forward. Once you’re in the hospital, at least for me, the anxiety melted.

If you can, encourage your brother and family members that are around you to mask up in order to stay healthy to protect you! Basically following Covid protocol so that your brother can fulfill his donation and that you can get on with the BMT!
And yes, sadly hair loss is to be expected around day 10 post BMT. My little stubbies that had been about 1/4 inch, all said goodbye overnight in a mass exodus…for what I hoped was the 4th and final time! And it was! The first little fuzz started reappearing around the 100 day point and went gloriously from there. Though I have to admit, I was loving the ease and confidence of the cue ball look!

If you don’t mind sharing, what’s your timeline for the BMT? When’s your pre-flight testing and the scheduled re-birthday?
