Hi everyone, my dad was diagnosed with aml back in June and he recently underwent a stem cell transplant (he’s on day +9). At the moment he is doing okay, very tired and no appetite with some sickness etc. The doctors are pleased with how it’s going however he started complaining about severe back pain this evening and the nurse has said this is his bone marrow regenerating? I hadn’t heard of this before so was hoping if anyone else had experienced this, and how long it lasted for them?
thank you
