I, I would be interested to, to hear what your, your treatment was like.

So once I got down to the James at Ohio State, I met up with my, uh, hematolog- my multiple myeloma specialist.
17:27
Um, she's on the research team down there, and, um, she's a little bit younger and very, uh, direct I should, I would say.
17:34
You know, I love it, though.
17:35
You know, she's very direct.
17:36
She puts, puts it out there how it is, but she's, she's very smart, and I trust her with my life, okay? So her thought process was, being that I am so young, we're gonna do what's called a auto stem cell transplant, which is where I would have a stem cell transplant, and I would receive my own stem cells back, not from a donor.
17:57
Less, less, um, risk of, uh, graft versus host disease, infections, maybe, you know, l- more long-term stuff, 'cause you're getting your own s- stem cells back into you.
