Hi Like blobgob I had a SCT in Addenbrookes, in my case in January 2022. I was in for 3 weeks as I picked up an infection just before I was due to go home and had to stay until that had cleared up. The first couple of weeks post SCT were not pleasant but I would do it again if offered. Once I was home it took a couple of months of gradually building up my stamina to get back to where I was before (walking 3 miles a day with the day and then some longer walks with friends).
I do not work as I was retired when diagnosed but am luckily very healthy and work on staying fit. I am now a carer for my husband who has a neurodegenerative disease similar to Parkinson’s which affects his balance swallowing and now cognition so I am hoping the remission will continue.
I know for some people SCT may seem daunting but my experience it was hard for a relatively short period but has had a very positive outcome.
