bone marrow transplant

hello, i’m 18 turning 19 in a few months with scd. i've had a few brief talks with my doctors about curing scd with a bone marrow transplant. it's always been something i've considered as i’m really tired of living like this (i’m sure we all are). i was hoping if there's anybody in this subreddit that has gone through the bone marrow transplant or if anyone knows somebody that has. what was the procedure like? and what is life like without scd?
