Pets after BMT
About a month ago I had a consultation with a famous transplanter. I was being considered for a transplant.
After the 90-minute consultation, my spouse asked about having Benson, our beloved Minpin back in our lives. The Dr. said I couldn't be around a dog (or any pet) for a year. Our little Benson is my personal trainer, therapy dog and resident mood-lifter. THAT was the deal-breaker! No transplant for me, thank you.
