I’m back to report that I am home now from my transplant at Mayo Phoenix.  I was on the list for 45 days and then got called in on January 2nd for a procedure early on the 3rd.  Things went very well and I was discharged with no complications.  I’m feeling a moderate amount of pain, but it’s not too different from the transplant staging surgery that was done earlier in November — just a much larger scar.

I refused to ring the bell when I finished radiation and the first round of chemo back in November since I knew I had a lot more to go through, but I have an appointment with radiation oncology tomorrow and I plan on ringing that thing loudly!

Now it’s onto a very long road of recovery at home, medication management, and vigilance to surroundings and food.  I’m thankful for the support group here!
