I am at 120 days post stem cell transplant with no trace of leukemia in my blood or marrow at this time. I feel very lucky, as my odds of getting it into remission were slim. I am 42 and had almost no side effects from the transplant. It was not fun, but I would do it again in a heartbeat if my leukemia comes back. Basically, it is a week in the hospital of heavy chemo, getting your stem cells, followed by 3 weeks in the hosp. recovering. Actual transplant is like a blood tranfusion.

It worked and gave us 2 more years together we wouldn't have had otherwise

What can I say, it was hell with all the side affects x 10. Would I do it again? Most definetly yes. It gave me the cure that I wanted

Horrible experience with chemo, long hospital stay, still have GVHD even 10 years out!

Cancer free for 6 yrs!! Love life but don't know if I could go through that again! Have met my donor, my angel! Double yuck!

He doesnt like to talk about being sick.
