My Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT/SCT) story: Will you share yours?

@jrwilli1 I think that as more years pass since my SCT, the more comfortable I become with the thought that I won’t relapse. I will be celebrating my 10th rebirth day in August, and I use the phrase “cancer free”.
My family history with cancer makes me feel like I am in an uneasy dance with cancer: both of my parents and one sister died from cancer. I was able to get away from one, but who knows if another one may be lurking somewhere in my future. I don’t dwell on this and live a full life today.

@alive wow. I do feel he is cancer free at this point. But you just never know. He still has a lot of issues from it all. Low sodium which he takes meds for and a fungus in his lungs which he also takes meds for. But the worst thing for him is he has Parkinson’s disease which he has had for almost 10 years and that is acting up more these days. Doesn’t seem right that he got two issues. But he has been very positive and works out as much as he can. So we forge on with this new life he has been given. Hopefully he can get to 10 years like you. That is remarkable and so pleased to hear it. God bless you.
