Hi Jane Barsham and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your son going on the Stem Cell Transplant Rollercoaster again.
I can truly understand as I have been through two Allo SCTs with cells from my brother - it’s a long story so hit my Community name.... but CAR-T was not around in 2014/15 when I had both my Allo’s.
Can I direct you to this link to our very supportive Stem Cell Transplant group as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.
Just follow the link I have created then hit the ‘Join This Group’ tab just under the main group name, then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your very own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group and ask your questions.
I will keep an eye open for you and we can walk this with you ((hugs))
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
