7 days from BMT

Hi all, I know it's been a while since I posted. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm 7 days from transplant, and just had my first lot of chemo today.

I will admit I'm scared that this won't work and I'll have done it all for nothing.

I've been told my odds are good with a 10/10 sibbling match, but that still terrifies me.

I think most people would be a bit stressed , 10/10 is good and it’s also it’s worth remembering the chances are it will work, wishing you good luck πŸ˜€

13 years ago today I was 11 days away from my transplant with a non familal 10/10 match in the UK. I was also 11 days away from my 58th birthday. It was a tough time but it is worth it. I have spoken to many who have trodden our path and are still around, some are still close friends. Be positive, be a person not a patient (only use your bed when you need to) and find a slot for a (re humanising) shower every day.

Best wishes.

Ps. Writing to you from France as I prepare for another days skiing.

Very best wishes. I’m sure you will be fine. Stay positive. I am day 143 post transplant. It was tough that’s for sure. I think more mentally challenging for me. I have been very lucky so far as I have not been beset with problems. But I take nothing for granted. I am just so grateful for the second chance at life. Take care xx

Wishing you the best of luck for your very brave decision. I am at the stage of being asked to consider a transplant for my primary MF. Terrified at thought so a lot of thinking to do. I admire you for doing this and wish you well.
