Four years ago today I received the cells donated to me. I remember the nurse attending my transplant telling me how unusual it was to receive so many cells. Most patients only receive half the number I was receiving. I already felt blessed to have had a perfect match found to receive my transplant from.
Today, I am so grateful to be here...telling you I am still "cancer free." Woo hoo! Minor GVH issues continue to necessitate the need to remain on a low dose of steroids; we are hoping to ween off them "soon."
Only one more year until I am "cured."
