Hello @papad i'm very sorry about the multiple myeloma. I dont know much about that one, is he doing better now? You guys must have been living really close to the hospital, because from my understanding, the transplant procedures are the same across the entire country (and rules and requirements like living within five minutes away) . May I ask which hospital? So far, I havent had much luck with my insurance type (Tricare Select) and any advanced care at home programs. One thing i wished i would have known was that some of the hospitals allow transplant patients to stay in the actual hospital the first few months, (like MD Anderson). I think that initial barrier i had to finding caregivers would have been alot less burdersome a few months back. Anyways, I'm forced to share a bathroom with my caregiver at the transplant house. these are all great things to hear and know about!!! Best best wishes to you!

We were at Mayo Jacksonville, Fl. We live about 30 minutes away. Because I’ve been very involved in his care, we were allowed to take advantage of the program. The distance is also why we had to go back to the hospital when my husband got a fever. If we had been closer, that probably wouldn’t have been required. We stayed in the hospital 5 nights and then went back home under the advanced care at home program for a few more days. Best wishes to you, too.
