Has anyone recovered from high dose chemo?

and stem cell transplant with renal failure for germ cell cancer? Just curious. My husband is still recovering although the cancer isn't completely gone. He needs dialysis now and occasionally more blood for low platelets.
He's pretty tired, slow moving, we have to watch his diet.

I'm not sure what your question is . . but yes, people have recovered from high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. Usually the doctors explain this process and the fact that there is no guarantee with this treatment . . it is a chance. Much depends on his overall health, but I would be more concerned that the cancer is not completely gone. My understanding is that stem cell transplant is used as the period at the end of treatment. If he still has cancer present than further treatment options may now be limited.

We decided not to do stem cell transplant once this was explained to us. It is something that is best used when there is minimal or no detectable disease present. We still have the option of going to this treatment once the disease is smaller.
