what is a stem cell transplant

If ultimately chemotherapy protocol ICE and stem cell transplant is the choice that Brian makes, then it is good for you to understand exactly what he faces. This is a good explanation of the procedure.
It will be painful, unpleasant and take a terrible toll on his body. This we have already experienced in his first battle with lymphoma. Additional concerns are the fact that Brian had many platelet transfusions last time and towards the end started to experience severe reactions to them, even when pre medicated against a reaction.
