Hello @gmal261,

I appreciate you sharing your diagnosis here on Connect. After reading some of your previous posts, I see that you were diagnosed in 2019 and that you have had surgery, chemotherapy and also a stem cell transplant. I would like to introduce you to another mentor on Connect, Lori @loribmt, who also had a stem cell transplant for a different type of cancer.

How are you feeling now, @gmal261?

I am currently in remission and am in NED…”No Evidence of Disease.” Following my craniotomy in August 2019 I was given high dose chemotherapy that was administered every other week for 5 days at a time for 5 1/2 months ending in January 2020. I then had a stem cell transplant in 2020.

I am suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (chronic) and balance issues (due to my craniotomy as my brain tumor was removed from cerebellum which controls balance). I now am going to be having to use a walker for my stability issues. I remain optimistic despite my challenges. I am just so very thankful to be alive! As someone once told me, “keep the faith!”
