If you’re going to need a bone marrow transplant I would encourage you not to wait until you’re on deaths door. It does require that you have a certain amount of robust health to be able to survive the transplant. Many people sale through it without all of the side effects I hat. I think some of my problems came from the fact that it was so hard to get my mission and I had an alphabet soup chemotherapy us prior to my transplant. There are also many organizations out there to help cover the costs of co-pays, coinsurance, medications, and more. The social worker at your bone marrow transplant center should be able to connect it to this resources such as Lymphoma and Leukemia Society and Be The Match. Many hospitals also offer compassionate care subsidies. Best of luck to you.
