I Can't Decide Between Allogeneic or Autologous Transplant

@loribmt I'm actually at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, which is where I live, but I assume the same level of care is across all of the Mayo campuses. I just worry about my hands a lot; scleroderma and RA have really affected them and I wonder how much the transplant will help them. I miss being able to use them.
I'm getting my stem cells harvested tomorrow. I'm praying that tomorrow will be enough and I will not have to do it again. I've gotten four injections so far and I'm kind of over it.

Hi Chrissy! Well, today is the day you were to be admitted for the start of your autologous stem cell transplant. ASCT). I know you’ve dreaded this, but also have high hopes for restoring some aspects of your life if everything goes as planned. These transplants have helped reverse or eased symptoms for certain autoimmune diseases. It would be so wonderful for you to have the scleroderma and RA fading into the background.
Just wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you and wishing you smooth sailing. Sending a hug! Remember, one day at a time! 🥰 Let me know how you’re doing, ok?

Hey Chrissy. You can safely assume the level of care is equal across all campuses. ☺️
I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow and sending positive vibes that all the new little stem cells will be enough for your transplant! Squeeze every last one of them out…LOL.
Let me know how you did with collection, ok? I get really invested with my stem cell peeps. 🥰
