Good Morning! It’s nice to have someone who has gone through this. Yes, we will have to move to Rochester, MN and are getting care at Mayo Clinic. Fortunately we are only a couple hours away, however will have to move there for the daily check ups post BMT for at least 100 days.

Oh, that’s the greatest news! Mayo-Rochester is my home away from home and your husband can not be in better hands there! I’m intimately familiar with the transplant program and process there so please feel free to use me as a sounding board.
My husband and I made our move to Rochester as well for the duration of the transplant. We stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn which is linked to the ‘subway’ system to the Clinic. While the procedure is basically done as outpatient, requiring only a brief few days in the Methodist hospital on campus, he will be required to return daily for bloodwork and infusions. So you’ll want some place very convenient. Do you have any questions about lodging for your stay?
