feelinngs...happy that I am better and that transplant worked for now
but sad that I had to go thru all that. I still think about it
everyday and how there is someone somewhere sitting in a hospital bed
getting a transplant and just hoping and wishing it will work.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones..looking at stats and all. Out of
those patients with leukemia receiving a stem cell transplant, the
survival rate for 2-5 years is 40-80%. That's not including all the
crazy side effects that this procedure has. We are looking at effects
like: infertility, muscle problems, bladder control, failure of
transplant, organ complications, etc.
