My Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT/SCT) story: Will you share yours?

Yes I do love the dark chocolate and have some almost every day!!! I am not doing keto but have tried some of their treats. I have lots of questions and one raised by my walks. Saw my VO2 was very low and wondered about how to raise it but think the Revlimid might be contributing to that. Tomorrow completes my first week so very happy about that! Other than the myeloma issues all my other labs have been good, liver, kidneys,etc so hope that remains in tomorrow’s bloodwork. We were doing vegan but changed to Mediterranean with the return of the myeloma. Of course was not 100% but felt very healthy! Felt needed more meat protein. Feeling a bit more upbeat, you are right!

Had my appointment and seemed to go okay. Taking me off Darzalex so a bit worried about that but was only monthly so maybe not an issue.

Having all your other blood numbers looking good is a plus. You’re going into this under favorable conditions. You sound very health conscious so I can really relate to how it feels to have the rug pulled out from under you with this unexpected MM diagnosis. We’ve done everything to stay healthy and yet our immune system let us down. The good news is, we get a chance at a reboot. 🙂
So I hope you get some positive feedback from the doctor today. Be calm and don’t bring up the past failed treatment. Rehashing the past just eats up precious appointment time. Organize your thoughts on paper so that you can click right down that list. I think now that you have a week of treatment behind you and better emotionally, you’ll be able to have a more confident chat with this doctor.
Ok, right now though, my big question is why are you missing and not eating the Talenti Gelato???
