Post Stem Cell Transplant Weight Loss.
Post Stem Cell Transplant Weight Loss.
During my initial one month hospitalization where I underwent a week of 7/3 chemotherapy I lost 20 lbs. In the 6 weeks out of the hospital I have put on 24 pounds. I am curious how much weight I can expect to loose with the 3-4 week hospital stay post transplant. I am tentatively scheduled for my transplant the end of this month. Thanks in advance.

Dr. Appointment Left Me With So Many Questions.
I just had my first appointment after 6 weeks being on the chemo pill. The Dr. said my red blood cells are good but my white blood cells are still to high. She is keeping me on the treatment I am on because its only been 6 weeks.
