@mayor I had an autologous stem cell transplant at Mayo Rochester on June 22. A week prior to that, I.e. 6/15, my stem cells were ‘collected’ through my central line. Collection was scheduled for 3 days but I managed to meet my target within 2 days. On the following Saturday I got the chemo dose (malphalan) and then on 6/22 my frozen and treated stem cells were transplanted through the central line. Typically, recovery post an auto transplant is 21 days, to ensure you meet the required blood counts necessary for a discharge. I’m recovering at home now and looking forward to my 60 day appointment at the end of August. I hope this was helpful.
Wishing you all the very best, Sujata
