Does Stem Cell Transplant Help

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Atlanta, GA

I have stem cells collected and stored since May 2018. Waiting for transplant. Do I have to get a dental Clarence done?

I had my SCT in March. Ended up in hospital for 3 weeks for small bowel obstruction. resolved now but still with stomach issues that I never that I never had before. Drs said the SCT worked and nave MRD. (Very minimal). Have continued on 3 chemo drugs. Will get another bone marrow biopsy in December and go from there my strength seems to be returning but very slowly. Remaining isolated from everyone and everything except immediate family which is hard at times. Certainly do not want to get COVID! Appetite is very decreased and food tastes strange. Dietician recommended multiple small meals throughout the day which seems to be helping. It is definitely a journey but the SCT was worth it. Good luck with your treatment and continue with updates

I have had 2 stem cell transplants and the first one lasted 4 years and the second last 5-6 years so they worked great and was able to resume a fairly normal life except I do not have the stamina I had before.
