Types Of Stem Cell Transplant
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I went for chemo yesterday at the VA and I really like this nurse, she seems very trustworthy and yesterday, she said she wasn't sure how to address it but there basically are two types of stem cell transplant procedures one being they use your plasma cells or someone else's. It was her honest explanation, but I left there feeling some type of a way yesterday. The entire time I've been going, I was under the impression that they would be using mine for my upcoming procedure which I'm not even… read more

Stem Cells Transplant
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
