Hi jez. My transplant in July was a mini transplant, but that was chosen partly because I had hardly any cells in my marrow to kill so they didn't need much! I found the transplant itself really easy - I didn't get sick once and had zero mouth sores and generally felt like myself, but my recovery seems to be on par with those who had full transplants with the same infection risks. You can read through my thread here for more about my experiences or feel free yo ask me questions!
