Hi I have my dates for stem cell collection in July is there a timeframe for the transplant after that
Hi Larky70 you have done great to get to this stage, that means your blood results are good, only from my experience, in the West Midlands, i finished my Stem cell harvest in November, and had by Stem Cell transplant the following February, unfortunately for me it was postponed two times, due to bed space, at the Queen Elizabeth hospital Birmingham, that is now 2.5 years ago, and the wait is worth it, how was the experience for you on the harvest part of the process? Let us know when you are going in, as some of us may have some advice for preparation for the recovery in the hospital ward. We are all different and need different recovery times best wishes Vespa, AKA Kevin
