Clinic was great on Friday. Not only are my numbers up and at “normal” ranges (liver still giving me some issues-took 275ml of blood) I also got to meet another BMT patient that wanted some advice. Her name is Dawn who had a transplant in June that failed and now she is looking for suggestions. I think I put her to ease with her doing a mini-transplant (if they can find a donor). I have made another new friend. (I love that!!)
I was also approached by my case worker and picked by the clinic to participate for the “Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research” (BMT Conference Survivorship panel.) It will be held here in SLC in February 13-17. (Only 2 people were chosen from all the hospitals around the state). I’ll possibly be answering questions from nurses and a doctor around the United States about what is was like to be a transplant patient, how I was treated, what could be improved etc. I feel very honored….and yes….a little nervous! GULP!
