Thanks girls..I know it's not going to be easy but I have the support of my family and friends, and my new little granddaughter encourages me to fight even harder. I will have my SCT at Stanford. It's 4 1/2 hours from my home which makes it a little difficult, but my parents live within 30 minutes. I really like my transplant doctor there and feel I am getting the best of care. I have been doing pilates and hope to start walking again once the weather warms up a bit. I am 5' 9" and originally weighed 124 lbs, now 134 with the help of ScandiShakes. The doctor would like to see me put on 10 more pounds before transplant. I'm so thankful for this site so that I can talk to others that have been through this. I'm sure I will have many questions in the weeks ahead.
Jill
