I received a Stem cell transplant six months ago. My decision was based on the availability of a suitable donor and being able to get to remission through aggressive chemotherapy. Other treatments had no effect on my rapidly growing leukemia. As of today I’m still in remission, showing 97% chimerism. I understand your fear, as I too was reluctant. I trusted my team, stayed positive, walked outdoors as much as I could, prayed, listened to music, and talked about it with anyone who would listen. I’ve exceeded all of my teams’ expectations. I’m 65, I was overweight. But I passed all their physical mileposts pre transplant. Stay hopeful and positive
