    My husband has been having a really hard time with the mental side of all the treatment. He was feeling as if he was losing his mind. I’m happy I saw your video because I was able to show him that it happens and you will be back to your old self like this guy. Thank you for this video and sharing the parts that most don’t talk about.

    Thank you for describing your experience...as awful as your journey was, I believe that it is more common than rare for patients to have a similar experience. It has helped me appreciate my daughter's experience with her BMT and the side effects following intense chemo. She is out about 7 days now from transplant, and is struggling with many of the 7 side effects you described. Don't know about the psychosis, but would not doubt that it would be in her profile. Your video is comforting to me and gives me permission to trust in the passage of time, and the expertise of her team.

    I have sickle cell disease and will be getting a bone marrow transplant this July. I have come to this decision because I lack quality of life as I spend weeks in the hospital from extreme bone pain and the frequency is now at every 2 months.
    I am motivated and have a good outlook in regards to doing the bone marrow transplant. Of course I’m a little scared but I feel that I have already experienced most of the common side effects.
    The moment where you discuss the triggers you now deal with,losing time while in the hospital, the waking in screaming pain only to fall asleep once the pain meds start working and the guilt/embarrassment from treating the people around not well during a period when you weren’t quite yourself is hard and I have lived it. There are moments when I’ll be reminded that I behaved a certain way and am utterly mortified. I have lost friends during these moments because they didn’t understand what my situation was. It’s unfortunate that 28 years of hospitalizations have given me PTSD, just the smell of the hospital or sounds of machines affect me.
    I am looking forward to doing this transplant and taking it on as a challenge just because I don’t want to live the rest of my life in and out of hospitals. That’s no life.

    Thanks so much for sharing your cancer episode with us! I went through breast cancer, and almost 3 years later am still affected by a kind of PTSD when going to doctor appointments. The horrors of the cancer episode do fade with time. And I call it an episode, because that’s all the power it will ever hold for me. (Easier to say now😁) Thanks for sharing a part of your life with us.

      Bone marrow hopefully this is 00 now it take a long time for the Molecular test to come

You haven’t made any videos for a long time was worried things are not going well hope your going good this is a horrible thing to have I was healthy as running my own business and it got me out of nowhere I have 4 kids so I hope I get out the other side and can get a long time in remission

      @@temovantongeren7639 Yeah so just waiting on the transplant now :) Our rounds of chemotherapy were aimed at not doing a transplant and for 5 months it was fine. But then was a slow molecular growth so we decided to escalate and go straight to the transplant this year! I will have some more videos soon I hope about. But we are always being guided by the molecular studies. I remember at GCUH they would come back quite slowly too! But they do arrive and usually with good news !

    Well you're even more incredible than I thought.. Those were some heavy side efects, damn.. I cant believe how well you're able to handle stuff like this, I mean analytically.. You're truly wise beyond your years! I recognize the metallic taste, I had some of that during my rounds of Metronidazol, but of course probably very much less extreme than what you experienced. However, I get your point, that sort of stuff is truly very disheartening. During my time in hospital some nasty shit happened to me and also other people around me.. so it is indeed traumatizing. I had what was then thought to be Crohn's, but what maybe was a lupus related ileitis.. Because of the misdiagnosis etc. it was just a mess and I was happy to get out alive. Still obviously very much less severe stuff than yours. Truly respect to you sir and enjoy this beautiful new study year 😘 😍💕 We're here rooting for you!! Thank you also for sharing your coping tips, they will surely be useful to others going through similar stuff 👍
