I didn't know that! Chemo made me sterile and I don't know if I want to pass on 'dem genes so... good to know!

Any plans on cornering the market for guitar nuts? People still seek ivory and while they can try to say they get it from dead animals...you never know (I stick to bone because it's more metal \m/)

Very cool! Especially as I just saw a post about elephant poaching reaching an all time high right after I asked this =(

Good luck! I assume since you're 60 days out they know that your immune system took the graft? Any signs of GvH show up yet? I had an allogenic stem cell transplant in 2011 and I've been dealing with GvH ever since - here's praying you don't have too many problems with it! Biggest tip is to watch your lungs!!!!!! I had slight difficulty breathing and it went under the radar until we finally did a pulmonary function test and my FEV1 was 36%. GvH caused me to get Bronchiolitis Oblterans. So not that there isn't enough for you to watch out for, just make sure you do PFT's and watch for signs of difficulty breathing. Shoot me a message if you ever want to, I feel we might have similar experiences to help each other.

Best of luck! Prayers and Good vibes!

O right, ama...umm... how is the depression going? Are you just ignoring it/dealing with it/waiting for it to leave because you know it's temporary or are they sending you to shrinks like they did me (best help I got out of a dozen or so psychiatrists was the Chaplain at the NIH...that guy was incredible).
