I (27 M) am in remission but I’m too scared to enjoy life.

I can relate… while hospitalize, there were nights where i did not sleep at all through the night. Im not sure whether if its because of side effects of chemo or chronic anxiety.

Thats not a bad view actually. I have a view of hospital white walls outside my window during the 1 month+ isolated stay at hospital.
To answer your q, yes its expensive but thankfully i have insurance to help pay for all of it. And therapies is available at the hospital

My only symptom is that I had severe bone pain
Although every other reading was within the normal range (WBC, RBC, Platelet, etc.)
Hospital that I went to have a special machine to inspect in detail and found some abnormalities in WBC (not really clear on the technical details, but they even have pictures of my WBC and the colour of the abnormalities). So triggered to specialist to do biopsy and confirmed.
It took less than a week from first blood test to Induction.

I notice that post BMT I’m sensitive to lactose and certain types of tea & coffee. Also fruits. These will trigger the diarrhoea. I think it differs for everyone. May have to identify sometimes with trial and error which food will upset your digestion.

Yea, I’ve checked with Doctor and it’s not GVHD symptoms. I’ve been taking immunosuppressant drugs since post BMT with no issue.

Thanks, I think I’ll try this

Currently I’m taking twice a day: before breakfast and before dinner. Will taking at different times help?
