Hi Lori!
You have a great memory!
I’m Day +30. I was released from the hospital on day 18. A friend of mine flew to Rochester in his private jet and took me home!!
I’m doing pretty good. Trying to regain my strength and general fatigue are my biggest issues right now. I have a good appetite but don’t eat nearly as big of portions as before.

I did have a rough 5-6 days during nadir period and was readmitted to inpatient. I had bad mouth sores but they started to heal as my blood counts began to increase.

I go back mid-November for my 100 day check up. Thanks for checking on me!❤️🙏

Ohhhh my gosh! There a zillion reasons to smile in this post!
Having a private jet ride home is like the icing on that cake for sure!
You look fantastic and healthy. Don’t force the recovery…it takes time. Fatigue will be your friend for a couple of months. So listen to your body when it says it wants a nap. They’re guilt free at this point. LOL.
But I also understand the frustration when you’re feeling great and just want to get back at living life to the fullest!
Thank you so much for posting these pictures and your positives report after your autologous stem cell transplant. We never know when our stories will help out someone else going down the same path!
Keep me posted on your recovery, will you? ☺️
