Interesting that this IPOP stuff is becoming more common. When I had my transplant at Kings two years ago, it was only the low-risk patients who stayed outside the hospital (in hospital accommodation, though) - mostly those who were getting their own stem cells.

I would've LOVED to have eaten my own food and been in a flat instead of the transplant ward! But then again, sitting in outpatients for long periods wouldn't have been much fun, either, nor would the super early-morning or late-night IV drips (with those I'm thankful I could just go back to sleep!).
