I am looking at possibly under going a stem cell transplant from a matched donor in the near future. I will not e using my own Stem cells.
Anyone on the site ever gone through it OR has a family member who is doing it? I would love to hear some inputs.
I would be doing it to battle Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL). I am starting a new treatment Thursday with ISTODAX.
I get it every Thursday Intravenously for 4 hours for 5 weeks. It was just approved 2 months ago by the FDA. I am giving it a shot.

Scot not sure if you remember but one of my kids had brain cancer, they took his immune system down to -0- then he had the treatment. I left him a message earlier, he got back while I was out. I will get you two hooked up tomorrow, always good to speak with someone who has been there. He is 100% now I am sure you will follow suite!!!
