Hi Gretchen- I am now 18 months post transplant. I had both Hodgkins Lymphoma and AML (the later was probably related to my treatment for Hodgkins) - I am doing well. There has been ups and downs in my journey and I would just say ... stay present in the moment and be ready for anything. I think the docs don’t say a lot about what the process will be like because it can vary so much person to person. For me / I had lots of complications and was back in the hospital after transplant 4 times in the first 5 months. I have a close friend who fared differently - he recovered much after and he’s 10 years older than me. All in all - I’ve had a good experience And wonderful care, and am thankful to be feeling good now. It’s a journey.
