Hi @sissyhand, Welcome to Connect. You’re certainly going through a huge medical event right now and it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed. Especially if you’re being recommended for a BMT or CAR-T Therapy following your treatments for what I think is Follicular Lymphoma? I read in a previous comment that you have FL.

If you do require one of those treatments there are different protocols depending where you have the procedure done. If you are an ‘in-patient’ for 6 or so weeks, then having an immediate caregiver 24/7 isn’t usually necessary during that time. But you be expected to have someone (relative/friend) who can be called should the need arise for errands, consults, that type of time. Some facilities are out-patient but you need to lodge nearby with a caregiver 24/7 for a period of time. That can be more of a challenge for some people.
The best place to start is with the social worker at whatever clinic or hospital you choose for the procedure. A larger teaching/research hospital who do many of these transplants is preferred.

You mentioned Mayo…which would be an excellent choice. Which campus are you considering?
