A Look Into My Stem Cell Transplant || Cancer Journey

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.

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.

[@lindavenne8038]

I find myself many times thinking about you and how you're doing, you became part of my life and i'm always so happy to hear when things go well for you.

[@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.

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.

[@jessicah3450]

Yummy! So like a seafood bisque 👌

[@deluxe97]

The smell is actually from the chemical used to protect the cells while they are frozen, not the cells themselves. Also, your genetics determine if or how you experience the smell.

[@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!

[@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!

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.

I’m not a doctor by any means but I get a similar allergic rash from bleach and certain laundry detergents, especially when I’m at hotels where everything is super clean and white! The rash is always along the sensitive exposed parts of my neck and chest where the sheets touch my skin at night. If someone is able to bring you a small throw blanket from home you could try using that underneath the sheets as a barrier to protect your skin. Wishing you good health and happiness moving forward :)
