My transplant recovery was much easier than I anticipated. I wish a smooth time for you Elfriede. Remember to take it one day at a time and try to think of happy things that you'll do afterwards!

Hi Elfriede. Good luck with your stem cell transplant. Do you have a reliable caretaker to be with you? I had my daughter with me, and it was a godsend.

I had mine 15 months ago, it went smoothly. Hope yours does as well. Remember to take it one day at a time. Of course there are going to be some day better than the others, but you will have lots of great days ahead.

Good luck,
Kaew
