Hi @IreneD, and welcome to the forum. What a lot you’ve been through, and over such a long stretch of time too.
I know a number of our members have been through stem cell transplants and I’m hoping some will see your post and share their own experiences with you directly - that’s often worth more than anything else at this stage.
In the meantime, there’s also a long-running thread here where people awaiting, considering, or recovering from a transplant share how they’re finding it which is well worth a browse, and a good place to ask questions too. And if it’s helpful for more practical tips, there’s a much lighter thread here about what people found useful to pack.
We do have some general information on what a stem cell transplant involves here, and our Support Line is always there too if it would help to talk any of this through: 0808 2080 888 (option 1) or support@bloodcancer.org.uk.
Sending you all the best as you make this decision.
