Stem Cell Mobilisation

Hi Bluebear,

I am really sorry to read about the pain you are in, pain during the stem cell transplantation process was excruciating at times for me so I am definitely feeling for you. I just kept taking regular over the counter pain relief and kept telling myself it was only temporary and actually a good sign as it meant I was producing a lot of stem cells. I think I was an in-patient once and they gave me a bit stronger pain medication for one night during the SCT as the cells were coming back in, and that definitely helped so please reach out to your medical team if it gets too much.

Hope everything goes well on Thursday

Hi Bluebear, i had a little bit of what i will call thermal pain in my back particularly at night when i lay down which increased at each injection . I had my mobilization yesterday - had to go for two days for 5 million stem cells. Felt okay on the second day but day three i feel like cement has been poured down my neck and setting
