Good morning, @secglc2 Let me officially welcome you to Mayo Connect. It’s great having you here. As you’ve probably discovered by now we’re a community based forum where members come together to share their experiences and life journeys to help each other find answers and offer encouragement.

Congratulations for your 2 year success story! After reading your comment above, I realized you’ve been a member for almost a year but this is your first time joining in a conversation. I’d love to encourage you to share your cancer and transplant journey in this group: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/my-bone-marrow-transplant-bmt-story-will-you-share-yours/

Was your SCT done using your own cells or did your have a non-related donor? If you had an allogenic transplant have you experienced any GvHD issues?
I also started another group discussion for people with Chronic GvHD symptoms and again, would really encourage you to post in this group as well if you’re experiencing any Chronic graft vs Host disease. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-gvhd-lets-talk-about-it/

With the number of people receiving stem cell transplants there are very few forums where we can openly talk about our experiences so I’m trying to grow our presence on Connect. It’s such an amazing chance for a second life but it’s not an easy journey. Any information we give can really be helpful and encouraging to countless people who might be facing our same challenges and see a positive outcome!

What first brought you to Connect last October?
