I am just beginning the evaluation process. My appointments are over the next two weeks. Why do I need a primary caregiver there with me? I’ll be hiring a CNA as my caregiver post-transplant. I certainly can’t hire someone a year in advance to go to appointments with me.

@fowlair, I'm not sure whether you are having your appointments this week or starting next week. Anyway, I send my hope and a hug that all goes smoothly for you.
When I was evaluated, I was very weak and sick. There was no way I could have even gone alone. I don't remember, but there might ave been some tests/scans that involves some anesthesia-but not sure.
Is there someone who can accompany you, even though they will not be your primary caregiver? A 2nd set if ears is beneficial. Have you spoken to the evaluation team about the need for a primary caregiver to be with you?
