You have some big decisions coming up regarding your BMT. It’s very important that you feel a connection with the BMT doctor and team. They will be integral figures in your life through all phases of the transplant and recovery.
There will also be frequent trips to the clinic for follow-ups so convenience is also a consideration.

There’s a growing membership of BMT recipients in the forum. We are all very supportive and here to offer advice, suggestions, encouragment and of course, hope to anyone who is facing a bone marrow transplant. So when you’re ready, here are a couple of current discussions that might be helpful as you prepare.

Thanks so much for your wisdom and experience. I start outpatient chemo this week. 14 days of Venclexta pill daily then 2 weeks off. And just 5 days tues thru sat per month of SubQ Vidaza with rest the other 3 weeks.
In process of switching my care to Local Vassar/DYson Cancer center which is 15 min from my house/work and great team.
Also, in process of changing my BMT team from Mt. Sinai (NY City) to Memorial Sloan Kettering also NYC - same travel (3 hrs each way) and MSKCC has such a great reputation.
Now seems like the time to make my care changes!.

Got a great local Doc handling Pain meds and Nausea/vomiting (Palliative) for which I have many allergies)compazine,Reglan, Droperidol, Tigan...ugh) ( Zofran in-effective) Phenergan suppositories works and IV Benadryl when inpatient for the strong Histamine H1 effect has been a lifesaver. My original Valley/NJ Oncologist was unwillingto refer to Palliative so I finally self-referred/forced the issue and SO glad I did. I am also a retired Paramedic (my 1st career) Now work in Adv. Manfacturing Health & Safety and they have been great and very supportive.
Enough babbling for now. Thanks much for listening and your wisdom 🙂
