Hi Kathy, it’s ok! We’ve got your back! I’m going to give you a few links to discussions started other members who also required long term stays in Rochester. The links are below:

Like your mom, I also had AML, requiring a bone marrow transplant at Mayo Rochester over 5 years ago. I’m here to walk both of you through this, as well as a growing posse of fellow members who have also had transplants. We’re all here to offer support for your mom’s 2nd chance at life!

We know how daunting this all seems when you look at the big picture. Just the logistics of getting all the ducks in a row feel mind boggling. But it all seems to work out and the BMT teams at Mayo are amazing. So your mom will be in excellent hands.

You’re going to have a ton of other questions so I’m going to suggest a few other discussions that will give you some reading material to get you started.

And this discussion started by @mary612 when her husband was about to enter his transplant journey earlier in 2024. Her husband was in a clinic in Chicago. But many of the experiences are similar.

That’s enough for right now. Please get back to me with any questions or concerns! What is the target date for your mom’s transplant? Does she have a donor on board?
