My Dad was one of the first people in the US to get a stem cell transplant for his type of cancer...it was a miracle.

[@sharisanzo7334]

My husband had a stem cell transplant 8 years ago. He is doing great! He was diagnosed with Leukemia (aml) it was a long road , but it was worth it. He got a young girl’s stem cell. He now likes flashy clothes, likes to shop, and is a must kinder, gentle soul. I wish you all the luck in the world. God Bless

Isn’t science amazing! How did someone discover this? You are actually in a science project with the goal to cure your body. Wishing you great success! We will all be watching.

God is amazing, this is all by His design. God granted scientists and doctors the ability to make such discoveries. All for the glory of God.

Stem cell transplants have been around for awhile.

[@Pandora_369]

I was in the room with my beloved nephew when he had his transplant. I remember watching the transplant nurse holding the bag of stem cells in her hands, slowly moving the bag from hand to hand, and thinking that she is holding precious life in her hands. It was a surreal feeling, and a profound moment. Romee, you have my prayers for continued healing, comfort, and strength. You are beautiful.

Here is a beautiful wonderful person battling cancer with an amazing upbeat personality. I feel guilty because I can’t beat this everlasting grief and depression. Beat this and have a wonderful full life.

[@laurieeno2118]

As someone who has battled those things chronically for years, I have had to develop a belief system that tells me my struggles are as valiant and important as those like Romee's. Not everybody survives cancer, and not everybody survives depression either. They are both considerably serious, and if you are still alive to fight, you are working hard and succeeding. No one asks for cancer, no one asks for depression. You need and deserve the same kind of support and encouragement as someone fighting cancer. Society will suggest that isn't true, but it is. You and your life matter exactly as they are.

[@katiesfarmhouse]

Yay! I've heard several friends say that getting their stem cell infusion was...anti-climactic. You go through SO MUCH to get to that point, & then- meh...just another treatment. It is amazing though- that Modern Medicine has figured all this out. One of only a handful of cancers that we're able to routinely cure.

[@lindsayaitken2435]

She missed the boat on making an Onlyfans while she still had hair but there would still be a willing customer base if she set one up now. Perhaps she has old photos she could repurpose for her Onlyfans. Romee, set one up soon because if you start going downhill you'll start looking even worse than you currently do!

Remove the chain and see if that makes a difference to the rash, I know that seems like too easy a solution but that's what I would start with.. And you are so beautiful, I get your words are just how you feel momentarily but you really are so beautiful and brave - your videos help so many people.

[@cathymumper2126]

That’s true. Your skin could be reacting to your necklace.

[@TerminalDoesntMeanGoodbye]

But, also, the body stress of what she's going through, and her treatments cause it too. When I was going through chemo, rashes and hives happened a lot. They put me on dexmethasone for that. It started on my chest and spread all over. It was miserable! But the dexmethasone helped a lot!

[@sherihedgecock4618]

You are a beautiful, strong and determined woman. Just remember that. You will beat this.

[@lucbelcher7256]

I watched Tia go through hers and it seems like it was the after, how she felt the weeks after her procedure. Killed me to see someone so sad and tired but she is thriving now. You were recommended to me the very first day you posted your journey and I've been here for every episode. Crazy that I find myself thinking about you throughout the day and think ~hope she is doing well and having a good day lol. So many of us have come to adore you and cannot wait to celebrate with you soon! 💚💚💚

[@dancebasedancer]

Yes, having had a stem cell transplant in December 2019 (for Myeloma which is incurable cancer of the bone marrow), it is Day 10 (after the actual transplant) to Day 20 which are the very toughest. I was in hospital for 5 weeks but eventually came home, hurray! It then takes quite a long time for your muscles to rebuild and about a year for your brand new baby immune system to mature. I returned home into full isolation because of the pandemic, so rebuilt my strength by walking up and down my corridor for a mile each day, though I started with 5 mins, and gradually over 4 months built to a mile. All worth it though, whilst the remission lasted!

[@isabellamomodu1812]

@@isabellamomodu1812 Yes. Multiple Myeloma is an incurable cancer.

[@jessicawilkerson2417]

I've watched Tia's journey as well, she's such a beautiful person inside and out, so glad she's doing so much better! I do however wonder if the stem cell transplant is different when you are able to use your own vs a donor? Tia stem cell transplant seemed to go much different than Romee's although everyone's body handles things differently.

[@dancebasedancer]

@@jessicawilkerson2417no the procedure is exactly the same. The only technical difference is that the stem cells in the bag, which is dripped into you, come from a donor in the case of a donor transplant. So of course there is a small chance of rejection with a donor, but this can also happen with your own stem cells. What IS different though, is the way each person's body handles and responds to the stem cells being infused, to the whole complex procedure, and how many infections you get, how you recover from the infections etc etc. So there are MANY many variables, but the actual procedure is not one of them, other than the contents of the bag of stem cells!

[@barbaracilley8200]

I think most people who are in the hospital getting any kind of treatment mostly want someone to come visit and just be there with them. The person can read a book, a newspaper, but be silent and only speak when spoken to. You’re getting your stem cells back. I pray they do their thing and multiply many times over. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey of a life time. You have been so brave. I hope if I ever had to go thru something like this I would be as brave as you.

[@lisaberg125]
