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!”

@gmal261 My goodness, you’ve had more than your share of medical drama over the years! I’m so happy to see you’re in remission with no evidence of disease! I was just talking with another member how we really relish hearing “you’re unremarkable” from our doctors! Congratulations on the remission!

Can you tell me a little more about your stem cell transplant? I’m expecting you had an Allogenic transplant using cells for a donor? Does your doctor feel the rheumatoid arthritis is connected to any graft vs host disease?
