Had an allogeneic stem cell transplant - aka bone marrow transplant - from an anonymous donor.
The procedure involves several month of chemotherapy aimed at reducing the size of the tumors, followed by heavy chemotherapy just before the transplant - essentially killing off most of your remaing blood cells to make room for the new stem cells.
The result is that I now have new blood... which isn't mine.
My blood has my donor's DNA while the rest of me has my original DNA. Which is weird...
Does having differing DNA have any implications in the future?
Quite incredible really.
