Good morning, @alxlo1. Well, tomorrow is the big day…the beginning of the first day of the rest of your life. ☺️ It’s an amazing gift to receive a 2nd chance at life. Like you mentioned, it is a long route ahead but it is doable! My husband and I often refer to my odyssey as the most crazy adventure we’ve ever taken together.

Noted from my own experience and friends I’ve made along the way during their BMT journey, the first 2 weeks are usually the roughest with increasing fatigue, nausea and the lovely side effects you’ve had from your other chemo. This may have you feeling a little lower physically and mentally by the two week point. But then quickly, as newly received blood stem cells engraft around that time, you’ll start sensing an improvement from the worst of the symptoms. From there, it’s usually a lengthy but steady rate of recovery!

You have a bunch of us here in Connect walking right along with you. So don’t hesitate to reach out if you need some moral support or encouragement!
Is Tuesday, Feb 10th, Day 0 (transplant day) for you?
