@turbo65 Hi Crystal, it’s understandable to be on a rollercoaster of emotions with your upcoming BMT. The logistics alone can be daunting. But everything seems to fall into place in an orderly fashion and once you’re admitted, at least from my experience, I was just on auto-pilot. I trusted my doctor and my team with my ‘care and preservation’ and let the worrying to them. (And my husband as my caregiver).

I recently replied to another member about to have a stem cell transplant using her own cells for a different type of blood cancer. While your experiences, along with recovery won’t be the same, the list of items I posted for long term stay will…so here’s the reply (cut and pasted) ☺️ https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1486625/

Do you have any specific questions I can help you with?
