Hi @davi0937, The BMT experience at Mayo-Rochester is outpatient. There are just a couple of days in Methodist Hospital during the pre-conditioning and day Zero (transplant day). After the transplant you’re expected to recover in lodging near the clinic for 100 days or so. Lots of hotels, apartments nearby as well places such as Gift of Life transplant House or Hope Lodge.

Patients return to the clinic daily for follow-ups, labs or infusions. You’ll be given a card with numbers to call if there is EVER an issue or concern. You can call the number 24/7, it’s answered immediately by the BMT team and if needed you will be admitted to the hospital quickly.
I have more information on those details when you need them.

Thank you again!

Morning - one more question! From the appointment when your provider said you were fit for BMT - how long till you went in? I’m still working and trying to sort out timing. I know it will be different for me but curious. Thank you again!
