Hi Paul. I had a trans in 2011 for PNH. My procedure is called a mini-transplant because the amount of chemo and radiation used is abt 1/3 of that used in a standard procedure. My hosp stay was also reduced, two weeks in my case. To tell the truth, I was actually looking forward to the whole thing bcse my fatigue and anemia were making it almost impossible to do almost anything. I had symptoms for abt 5-7 yrs, at least, and they were becoming progressively worse, but I was not diag until Spring 2011. Obviously you will feel sick, and in my case very dizzy for a while afterwards, but there are meds to help with that. Your med staff is there to help, and I found my med staff to be great at answering my ques, offering advice, etc etc. I would also advise you to remain positive abt the whole thing, mainly bcse I honestly think that's a big part of recovery. Good luck and we are all thinking abt you.
Mario
