My husband got diagnosed 1 year ago. So far he has skin thickening, joints pain and swallowing issues. Nothing in heart or lungs thank God.
Today during a check up his doctor suggested stem cell transplant and that it would stop symptoms for years and improve both skin and joints a lot.
She told us to read about it and think about the possibility until the next check up in fall.
I read a bit and it sounds super scary and there are many risks tied to it, one of them being death.
I want to ask if anyone has had stem cell transplant and please share your experience, recovery and results to help us think through this a bit.
