Thank you for the update!! I was wondering how your husband was doing after his transplant! It all sounds right on course with normal…the nausea may stick around for a while but it will pass. ☺️
I was so appreciative that most of my post transplant was outpatient too. Though I did end up back in the hospital a couple times. That’s not unusual. It really helps recovery to be in ‘your own home’ whether it is your home or a hotel (my experience). That way your husband can be up and walking more, eating when he feels like it, sleeping in his own bed away from the confines of a clinical setting. It just makes for a healthier and happier recovery period.

Ah yes, the pills. Daunting isn’t it? But while your husband’s immune system isn’t fully functioning these pills substitute as a temporary immune system, keeping him safe. They won’t be forever either. Just feels like it! 😅

There’s a woman my local cancer clinic recently paired me with for mentoring. She is 69, just diagnosed with MDS and will have her transplant the end of March. I’ve encouraged her to pop into Connect when she is up to it. So hopefully at some point in time she’ll be on here too and will be able to share her story. We never know how many people all over the world we might be helping with our experiences.

Give your husband an ‘air hug’ from me! He’s doing great! I think the caregiver part might be even harder…so how are YOU holding up?
