You should have a caregiver with you 24 hours a day the first 60 days. I stayed in housing across the street and either walked or took the shuttle every day. Stays were 2-5 hours. Patients are in curtained cubicles and wear masks. You get bloodwork, iv meds, whatever is needed.
Johns Hopkins is doing trials with half matches and cytoxan. Check out their website.
