Looks like I'm moving forward to a transplant in the next few weeks - myloablative chemo conditioning followed by stem cell depleted transplant - at least that's the plan. Words of encouragement appreciated - also wondering what to expect for recovery times, any tips to make things easier - anyone out there who had a relatively event free recovery - any long term survivors out there (or maybe they've left the board... Doctor says month in the hospital followed by three months staying close by - not to expect full recovery for two years if all goes well. Trying to get pumped for the long haul. Thanks
