Hi all, especially anyone facing a hospital stay, 

Please feel free to add to this list! 

In hospital for a transplant you may not feel much like reading or concentrating a lot, so.....

Trashy tv, films on iPad or DVDs

Favourite music, comfy headphones

Magazines

Favourite duvets/pillows, plus plenty of changes as daily laundry will be needed

Comfy clothes, nightwear and dressing gowns/onesies, slippers

Plenty of underwear changes

Favourite hand cream/lotions bearing in mind you might not want them afterwards because of association! 

A few photos/posters to put up with blutack.

  • On here for first time - in hospital in a couple of days to have Stem Cells harvested then due to have transplant on 19th May. Have been reading all the threads and everyone is so helpful. Have made lots of notes of items required to make hospital stay easier and hopefully more comfortable. You are all so brave and it's lovely to know there are people out there that may have the answers to all the questions running around in our brains. Would not wish this on anyone but onwards & upwards everybody so good that we can all be there for each other when needed! Lots  of hugs to all x

  • Hi   and a warm welcome to this corner of the community.

    I am Mike and have had 2 Allogenic Stem Cell Transplants for my 2 rare T-Cell NHLs at the same time my main treatment journey from late 2013 to late 2015 was rather complicated See my story but I am over 10 years out from my last treatment, I turned 70 last Nov and I doing great.

    It’s good you have found this discussion thread helpful.

    Are you in the UK Suzy? (Edit - just seen you are in the UK)

    I see from your story that you have Myeloma…… there have been a few folks with Myeloma post in this group but there are others who have posted about their SCT journey in our dedicated Myeloma support group.

    Any questions just ask……
