Hi @jhdez79 Thank you for sharing more information about the type of stem cell transplant you’ll be receiving. Now I can zero in on what’s pertinent to you!

We have several members who have had an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT…using their own cells) for Multiple myeloma.
This discussion was posted by @jstpeachey where she shared her ASCT while at Mayo-Phoenix. Lots of other members have jumped into the conversation. So I think it may be helpful for you. She shares her story from the patient perspective.

This caregiver guide is published by Mayo Clinic. It opens with the autologous stem cell transplant, which is what you’ll be having. You can skip over the allogeneic transplant information!
There are several menu items in the guide from nutrition, infection control and packing list to Caregiver support information, lodging, etc. So please take your time and click through all of links.
