    I have multiple myeloma and had a Stem Cell Transplant in August 2023. I live in Maryland and went to University of Maryland and was in the Bone Marrow Transplant unit as well. I loved the care I received, I'm in remission now and appreciate your story. I pray your daughter and you continue to be blessed.😊🤗

    Thats amazing! Basically you only found out your daughter was ill because you were and needed help. If that hadnt of happened your daughter may not have found out about her own illness till it was too late treat. It's pretty neat how sometimes things work out in such an amazing way.

    Finally somebody mentioned the 10 day thing. I thought after watching too many tubes that 2nd and 3rd day were bad ones. Thank you for telling us a nurse told you around day 10 is worse. I fell and got hurt durinf 2nd and 3rd Chemo around day 9-10. I could have been more careful.

    So if your daughter hadn't volunteered to be your donor her tumor could have gone undetected for a lot longer ? It sounded like a wild ride but I'm glad you're both doing okay !

    @jeffwatson151 Před 6 měsíci

    I beg to differ about increasing platelets these people don't know all they think they know honestly they're just experimenting my WBC is low most times on 7/12/23 my WBC was 2.7 platelets were 144; on 10/7/23 I started making and using 4 tablespoons of homemade sea moss gell in my morning smoothie, that's a good amount of moss, and by 11/18/23 my WBC was 2.9 and platelets went up to 169 I am going to have repeat labs next month so these folks can see whatever the hell they're trying to see.

    First of all, you did not have ‘lobotomies’. You would have had ‘phlebotomies’. The first is the removal of the front of your brain. The second is blood removal.

    I’m asking this question from a medical perspective not a political one. Did you get the Covid vaccine? It seems that a lot of the videos I’m watching that have rare and unusual cancers manifesting are in patients who took the vaccine. Based on what we know about the technology behind the vaccine. I find this very concerning!

      It’s actually proof he exists. Cancer is from our society. They spray us with poison all day. God warned us the medical community deceives us. Many can’t handle the truth so we will continue to be poisoned. Maybe if you read the book you would understand it’s the devil doing this by deception.
