What should I expect during my stem cell transplant and hospital stay?

I’m going in for a stem cell transplant on Monday after 5 days of more chemo. What can I expect? My doctor says I’ll be in the hospital for four weeks and the hotel on the hospital campus for two more weeks.

A stem cell transplant journey involves several phases, from the intensive treatment period in the hospital to the gradual recovery time that follows. During the hospital stay, expect close monitoring, managing side effects, and waiting for new cells to take hold, while the extended time at the nearby hotel allows for continued care as strength returns. Many community members here have walked this path and understand both the challenges and hope that come with this treatment - consider sharing specific questions or concerns as the process unfolds, as others' experiences can provide valuable insight and encouragement.
