In this video, we open up about our intense and emotional journey through the stem cell transplant process for blood cancer. From the moment of diagnosis, the struggles we faced were overwhelming-from dealing with debilitating symptoms and navigating the complex process of finding a suitable donor to the heartbreak when our donor backed out last minute.
We discuss how we managed an international stem cell transfer, the unexpected hurdles we faced, and the complications that arose post-transplant, including our battle with Graft vs Host Disease. It's a story of resilience, hope, and determination, shedding light on the reality of a stem cell transplant and the challenges it brings.
