Tips to share for stemcell transplant



For stemcell transplant..I am most worried is the mouth part. I heard horror stories of mouth full with ulcers when their immunity hit zero and the children were crying in pain and will only recover when counts are up. Hence I had been searching  infor and advice on oral hygiene from ex mummies before transplant start. . I trying means of ways to prevent edison had any  uclers during the transplant period.  Thks to buddies rina helping me to order tis toothpaste from US ..somehow i feel that it did works for edison. My tips : I used this toothpaste during his chemo times for him to get used to the taste and use it regularly during transplant ( only stop when he nil by mouth). Have dental check before his transplant( he extracted 2 teeth and 4 filling) and no cavities. Make his mouth moist and cold by sucking ice cubes or gargle with cold salt water very often. Si bath ( bum soak with warm salt water) twice per day. Lather with tons of body oil all over his body after every shower( twice per day). And Most important Pray Pray pray!  RESULT-- by God Grace,  I feel he suffer the least side effects of high dose chemo + stemcell transplant. No Ulcers throughout the period!! No dryness all over his body. No diaper rash on his bum. THANK you Daddy God!! Amen!!
