Hi Everyone,
I have been reading a few post on stem cell transplant,people say take one day at a time but I have to say I am not doing that because I am not near this stage yet, I had plasma cytomoma on the back of my tongue and behind my nose, I had RT back in Febuary which took away my taste and now I am having Cheamo that seems to be working I am being treated for Myeloma now because my consultant says he wants to treat it as myeloma before it gets to that stage, I still have no taste and very little appertite, is this normal to lose taste for so long or is it just because I am still having Cheamo, I am worried that my taste has gone for good, I have lost three stone from the start of treatment,I was eating and living life before treatment, we take so much for granted I didn't realise just how much we take taste for granted,they say loss of taste can be down to lack of smell,my smell is fine but no taste.
My consultant says the next stem down the line will be stem cell transplant and am thinging it is blood cells not bone marrow or am I barking up the wrong tree,this of course I will ask my consultant when the time comes,all I know now is that my bones are fine.
Is bone marrow stem cell transplant the same as stem cell transplant or is one just the blood
