Hi
my first message here, I am home I guess in ‘recovery’ after having my Stem Cell Transplant in September 2020.
I was rushed to Hospital in May 2020 two weeks after having been diagnosed antibiotics by my Doctor for symptoms I described, I couldn’t get a one to one with the Doctor and appointment by phone was only possible I cannot remember the two days I was in the ITU and I was diagnosed with AML after being moved to a Ward, I was then moved to the Worcester Royal where I had a course of Chemo, unfortunately I had to remain in Hospital and was then transferred to the QE Birmingham where I had further Chemo and then a Stem Cell Transplant, my Sister was a perfect match as Donor.
I am attending follow up Clinic and generally feel well, my medications have reduced and attendance T Clinics are now Monthly and have just changed to by telephone only.
I am looking forward to browsing the posts within this Community

Hi pwhound and welcome to our corner of the community, well done on getting to this point. At times this can mover very quickly from diagnosis to SCT.... it took me over 15 years before SCT became a thing - to save time hit my community name and see my story.
