update
Sorry it has been awhile but I forgot the website login. It has been 6 months since my BMT. If you think your done and back to normal after having one - wrong!!! The month in the hospital after the transplant went pretty smooth. Had some vomiting, balding, infection at new PICC site and a few other side effects but nothing major. Got out and had to return everyother day for labs. All the meds your on had effects on your kidneys and liver. Stay tired and winded. Got graft vs host twice. Now I'm considered chronic GVH and have to stay on steroids for a year. I'm HUGE!! Cheeks are in my eyeballs and I have humps on my back like a camel. But I"M ALIVE and for most days I can function with my family. I haven't had to have blood or plts since January before my transplant. YEA!
My doctor says it takes two to three years before everything evens out. Has anyone else had a BMT and when did you feel normal again? Selina
