laelithia Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hello all, Tomorrow (later today) my mom is having her stem cell transplant in an attempt to treat her aggressive MDS. Her odds of a cure are 40%, nothing happens is another 40%. However, there is a 20% chance of the procedure to be fatal. I'm very scared for her, but try to stay positive. A lot of people have supported my mom and our family. However, some of my closer friends have not and I feel hurt and frustrated by this. Maybe they don't know what to say, I don't know. Anyway, I'm scared out of my mind. I visited her at the hospital tonight and it was heartbreaking to see her so weakened by the chemo and radiation in preparation for the transplant. It angers me so deeply that someone as kind and generous as my mom is dealing with this, while evil narcissistic people (like the most recent person I dated) goes on enjoying all the frivolous joys of life. I hope there really is karma and somehow balance is restored. My mom deserves many more years of life. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestUSA Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'll keep you, your mom, and family in my prayers. I can also cast a spell on the narcissists if you desire. Seriously tho, positive thoughts and hugs to you. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

No_Go Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hope all went smoothly!! Her immune system will be wiped away, so keeping her infection free is a must. I'm sure her doctors will take care of that though. I'm looking forward to read a post of you that the transplant was a success!

quankanne Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 just now saw this, saying a little prayer that the procedure went well and that her healing is on target. Keep us posted, kiddo! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpybutfun Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes, most people do not know how to react to serious illness so they do nothing at all. Please talk to someone if you need to release some anger. It is normal to feel helpless and overwhelmed during a trauma like this. Please let us know how things went...
