How to be a good caregiver (bone marrow transplant BMT)?

Posted by fifi11 @fifi11, Jul 15, 2023

My husband Christopher will have a bone marrow transplant next month. He has been diagnosed with MDS in April. Ever since, I try to find grants, a place to live for 2 months next to the hospital after his transplant, what to do with the dog, the cat etc. I am retired, and we live on his income only, I'm completely overwhelmed, and I don't see how I can do it! Some say that I should join a support group, but I don't find the time for that. We just moved to OK, and we have no friend or family to help us. If you have any advise, I am all ears!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) & CAR-T Cell Therapy Support Group.

He will be 4/6 weeks in the hospital, then 2 months close to the hospital. I guess that he'll have to be on a strict diet from what I read. OK, one thing at a time... Now look at Bubba's face, it's so hard to leave him behind, but so far, I really don't know... Gotta go shopping, thank you for sharing with me! Really appreciate!
