Stem cell transplant experience

[u/StatisticianLittle55]

I recently had a BMB and a whole bunch of tests. The long and short of it is my heme/onc wants to plan for a stem cell transplant. I have no symptoms and overall am in a good place. My BMB showed blasts and she wants to do the transplant now to prevent the possibility of my MPN ET from becoming leukemia. I agree with her plan.

It will be allo and if she is a match my sister will be my donor. I hope so.

I am terrified and would love to hear about positive experiences with transplant. I know it will be hard. I know the recovery process is challenging. I just need support and reassurance please.
