I have other options, like staying with family or having someone stay with me, but curious how independent I can be for first few weeks post-SCT. Any thoughts?

Hi Jim,
I am afraid I can't give you first hand advise but one of the ladies in my Wellness center had a SCT this year and she definitely needed her husband's help. Some things you don't think about that she used him to do was open doors for her and answer the telephone so she didn't get contaminated. I'm sure you will be on immune suppressant therapy and I can definitely tell you that they wipe you out (in addition to SCT). I'd line up the help you can get and cancel if you don't need it. Wish you the best of luck and hope all goes wonderful for you.
