About this listen

Episode 7 recounts a rollercoaster week during the stem cell harvest before transplant: long hours hooked up to the collection machine, blood tests, injections, and the emotional highs and lows as the cell counts came in.

The host shares the close-call results — an initial shortfall followed by a successful collection of enough cells, episodes of low potassium and extra IVs, and the small victories of returning to work and pausing to listen to the body.

Through simple analogies about rebuilding and reseeding, the episode emphasizes recovery as fragile and patient work, celebrates resilience and gratitude, and looks ahead to transplant planning.
