My partner is going to have a bone marrow transplant in a couple of weeks.
Does anyone have any top tips as to what to take into hospital? Things you’d wished you’d known before you embarked on your transplant and a lengthily stay in hospital greatly received.

Re: My journey..... Now recovery!
Hi Kirsty - My name is Fiona and I had a transplant 19 months ago. I have some information that people kindly forwarded to me before my transplant and I'd be more than happy to send you a modified version following my own experiences? I'm 56 and had an unrelated donor transplant at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. I would also be happy to chat to you on the phone or video call if you think that would be of benefit at all? My email address so that you can contact me if you wish is: murrayfs@hotmail.com
Best Wishes - Fiona

Thanks Fiona. Kirsty, can you tell us in which hospital your husband is having his Stem Cell transplant - as we might be able to find somebody who has experience of that actual hospital and put you in touch?

Dear Chris and Fiona
How lovely to hear from you, thank you so much.
Fiona - I’ll email you to your private account in a bit.
Chris - I’d love to be introduced to someone, if possible, who has been treated at The London Clinic.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
