My last chemo treatment ended April 16th, 2019. My transplant was June 28, 2019 with a bone marrow biopsy May 15th and another one the week before transplant to make sure I was in remission. So just a little over 2 months from last chemo to the transplant.
Because you’re not waiting for a donor, yours could be sooner. You’d need to be at Mayo to start cell harvesting but I think you can do that a week or 2 ahead and then go right into transplant. That will be something to discuss with your team when you get to that point. Were you given a time frame?
