Faye – an aellogenic stem cell transplant patient I wrote about – has left the hospital

On December 23rd I wrote about people who’ve contacted me and either have mantle cell or have a relative or friend with it. Tom Faranda’s Folly: Postings and comments from other mantle cell patients, their family, and their friends

I mentioned Faye, whose family had a weblog going about her treatment, that she’d had a stem cell transplant from her brother and everyone was waiting for the transplant to "engraft." Her transplant is much trickier than mine, since I am only getting my own cells back.

So it’s nice to write that Faye left the hospital today. She and her husband will still have to stay near the medical center – I think they’ve taken an apartment – for the next two months, while the Docs closely follow her. But it’s certainly good news! Here’s the weblog if you’d like to look in on them. Journey Through Cancer
