How important is it to have full time care taker when recovering from bone marrow transplant

[hossbball]

I have to have bone marrow transplant. Problem is i live in New England. My family is out west(Seattle) , i only have my ex wife and 16 y.o son near me so i don't have anyone to help take care of me.

Suggestions,

24/7 after care is almost always required. Could you have the transplant done in Seattle? They have a top program.

Hi Hoss:

Have you spoken with a social worker at the hospital where you intend to receive your transplant? They are there to help with issues such as these. I’m certain you are not the first person facing this issue so there must be some type of support system available.

Good luck,

Mark

where are you having it done. there are other institutions around new england besides dana farber Fred Hutch in Seattle is world renown. Move to Seattle temporarily would be an option.
