@feruj, You have just now introduced a support group topic with this new discussion!

I can understand your being nervous about an upcoming appointment. I know that other members are going to want to help you by sharing their experiences and support you as soon as they see this group.

In the meantime, I would like to ask you what kind of appointment you are scheduled for. Is it an initial consult to determine whether you will need a transplant? Or are you beginning the evaluation process to determine if you qualify for transplant?

I’m new to this so excuse the delayed response and thanks for the info.
The appointment is my first one with this team and the Oncologist who I was seeing (because initially it was a possible Cancer diagnosis), told me that I would need a transplant I’m assuming it’s an evaluation. My husband is so unbelievably supportive and although my family is huge; I haven’t told them. Within less than 6 months I went from not having so much as a tooth removed to this, lost my sister and 2 weeks ago my Mom.

I’ve been holding it together pretty well but now I’m really getting nervous about the whole process. I have read a lot about what to expect and the general mechanics of the process but I’m looking for bluntly honest every day experiences.

I think that’s written rambling but any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
