He came out on Saturday after three weeks after his stem cell treatment and seemed fine on Sat. On sunday he started being very sicky and nearly collapsing. He is now back in is this a normal occurrence?

Yes, unfortunately I think it is. It takes a while for bloods to recover so he may be anaemic and need a couple of units, or plasma may be low, or most likely he will be having antibiotics infused if he has a slight high temp and starting with an infection – all easily sorted and he is in the best place. After SCT I had all sorts like your dad but once at the hospital it was all soon rectified. Try not to worry as the worst bits over with just see this as a “snagging” problem. Took me about 7 weeks out of hospital to feel that I wouldn’t be having to go back in again.

He is back in isolation as they want to figure out why he keeps being sick after every meal. His blood pressure was way too low and they think he may have an infection. Thanks for the reassurance though

Hi Clover

Could it be just sickness? I felt so sick after sct that I could not eat properly for a very long time. In fact I felt so bad that my every single thought was “I feel sick”. And I was on three different anti-sickness pills all that time! Finally, after six weeks I started to feel better and it was great when after couple of months I actually felt hungry. Hope they find out what’s wrong soon.
