EP23 - My Mum: 8 years after a stem cell transplant

The recovery road is long...And in Mum's case - it doesn't always end up 'fixing' you back to how you were before. Fatigue.Mobility issues.Memory loss.Confidence gone.What next? It's all been about 'getting through it'. As best as she could. And by GOD has she done that! I am biased - she is my Mum - but she has really been through it. The diagnosis of AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) in 2016 was the news we never expected to hear but, we quickly had to come to terms with it. As did Mum. The road ahead after this was long - uncertain - worrying - sometimes it felt like there was no end...Fast forward some seriously tough years and we are now 8 years on.8 years post that vital stem-cell transplant.
