My husband had two ASCT at Mayo Clinic in Rochester and the first one we were there 10 weeks total, the next time 11 months later we were there a few extra weeks since his bone marrow did not recover as quickly. We stayed in an extended stay type lodging and this was done primarily outpatient, however he did spend a few days admitted with each one. The admissions were right in the station where he saw the same nurses he saw everyday, and this allowed them to get all the things he needed in him in an IV since he was having a lot of nausea. My best friend had exactly the same experience with one ASCT at Mayo. I can answer more detailed questions about the process but my husband has a different disease. I hope and pray you have the same great experience, and get great results.
Lymphoma and Leukemia society have some great resources, too.
