I had mine done in the hospital. I was there about a week and a half. Once all my blood levels were good they sent me home. Then had to go see the doctor every week for awhile and then as things were good they would expand my time.

KurtKosma, It is a heck of a lot different than when I had mine at COH in 2001. I believe it is 12-14 days. You stay tell your blood counts can support you living in an environment that isn’t sterile. They do have cabins on their campus that you and your wife or a caregiver can stay with you, but I think it has to be the same caregiver throughout your stay. They are actually building a hotel on their campus for patients that come from out of state, or country, for treatment or others that have had SCT’s can stay there. Sometimes the patient must stay in patient but their families can stay there. They want it as safe as possible for the patient and having staff close by to check in on the patient and do necessary blood tests everyday post transplant. I hope this helps. If you have questions about the facility you will be using most good facilities will be happy to go over their transplant program. Have a good day! Love, Marcia 🌼🌸🌻

I had my autologous SCT outpatient at John’s Hopkins the end of July. I had to stay relatively close to the hospital and go in for 2-6 hours most days to be checked and have whatever I needed done. You must have someone with you at all times. It is tough but it is doable. I’m back walking and went back to work virtually this week. The best of luck. You need a strong support network, to continue to laugh and find joy and I couldn’t do any of it without God.

Depends on where you go. It can be either one. Most places are outpatient now. But some places still do inpatient. Emory for example, is all inpatient💖

My husband was in the hospital from May 3rd till May 26th then we had to stay in Denver for a week. Headed back home on June 3rd
