Stem Cell Transplant
Hello,
I am new to the forum. My wife is starting a stem cell transplant later this month. She has severe AA, previously had ATG rabbit, IVIG, and ATG horse (due to reaction, only had one dose of the horse). Her counts are not improving and has been transfusion dependent for 2 years now. After the rabbit ATG her transfusions happened less often, but still not in remission. If anyone has any advice for me as a caregiver (especially about the transplant), I would love to hear from others. Thanks for your time. |
Welcome, teke152.
It will help you, as a caregiver, to understand the overall transplant process (preparations, inpatient stay, and recovery) and the logistics (schedule, transportation, what records to keep, what to bring or not bring to the hospital). You can take advantage of these sources of information:

Thank You
I really appreciate the response!
It is always nice to have a support system of people that have been in my shoes:) |
Hi Teke152,
I'm sorry I'm not knowledgeable about your wife's situation but it looks like Neil gave you some great advice. And welcome to the Forums. It's a wonderful place to gain wisdom and support. I wish you and your wife well. God Bless, Sally |
