Good luck Angie, I admire you both for taking on this challenge at home. Paul seems to be tolerating everything they dish out to him quite well after his transplant on the 4 April, but with the medication and care he is receiving, I would be very nervous at home.

Today he is at day +11 and has his last dose of mexalthate - does you hubby have the post transplant chemo, and if so, does he return to his doctor for this?

We have been told that best case senerio with Paul is discharge at three weeks, but generally the average time of hospitalisation is 5 to 6 weeks!

Sorry to hear he has the back pain, but hope all with the transplant goes according to plan.
