Anyone had successful stem cell transplant for AML?

Hi Lori, Today was day 3 of chemo and day 0 will be on the 21st.....I’ve been sleepy for several hours due to the anti nausea meds. I’m not a napper, so this is new to me. The room service and people here have been great. I’m hopeful those less than peachy days aren’t so bad. As an optimist, who has never been really sick, I might be put in my place this time. However, it’s good to be forewarned and prepared. Thank you for all your encouragement Lori, you are a wonderful coach. I will keep you posted. Gretchen

Hi Gretchen! My bad. LOL. I was counting the wrong way! You and I sound similar. I was never a napper either nor ever been very ill until the AML. Through much prodding from the BMT-team...”Listen to your body”, I’ve learned napping is beneficial on many levels. You’re doing great and will be well taken care of! Thinking of you and wishing you well! Yes, please keep me (us) posted! I’m excited for you to be on the other side of the transplant. Honestly, i promise, the nausea will go away!! Huge hug!

Hi gretchen.
Hope you are doing reasonable. I can relate...I was inpatient at mayo clinic for 8 days here in Phoenix. Like you, have never been seriously sick, prior to my diagnosis of a complex case of stage 4 lymphoma.
Mayo clinic basically saved my life, although the attentive nursing staff knocked on my door every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. Looking back, however, it was in my own best interest. I think they wanted to make sure I was still alive. And for the most part, the food was great.
So take care. All the best.
