I'm six months post auto stem cell for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I fought hard to not do it, and I'm still having a lot of regrets about doing it. Anyone else in this boat? I was just getting out of isolation when #COVID19 hit and went right back in, which I know is having some impact too. But mentally I'm just struggling to keep up. #MentalHealth #Cancer #Hodgkinslymphoma #ChemoBrain #BoneMarrowTransplant
My regular chemo has been stopped in preparation for the stem cell transplant.The hospital admission date is set for December 2nd to begin conditioning. That's what they call the eight days of the chemo that will destroy my own stem cells. Right now it's a waiting game, hoping that nothing will come up to delay the transplant. It seems like these next two weeks will be the longest of my life, but I know when admission day gets here I'll feel like it's flown by.
I spoke to the nurse coordinator today about logistics what will happen when what I should bring etc. She asked me if I felt ready. I had to be honest I told her that I'm as ready as I will get. I know me. If I don't move forward now I will put it off until it's too late. I don't want to wait until I'm too sick to get a transplant. It's now or never for me. #stemcelltransplant #MDS #MyelodysplasticSyndrome
