    What to Expect During Bone Marrow Transplantation

    After the preparative regimen is done, the transplant can begin. Doctors add stem cells to the patient’s bloodstream. It is done in the same way as a blood transfusion. In the next few days and weeks, the transplanted stem cells move to the marrow space in the patient’s bones. There, they slowly begin to produce new cells.

    Between two and three weeks after the transplant, doctors usually start to find the donor’s cells in the patient’s bloodstream. With time, a successful transplant graft will make red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

    In the days right after a transplant, you need a lot of medical support. You may get transfusions of irradiated blood products, such as platelets and red blood cells. You may also get antibiotics to prevent and treat bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. These infections are most likely to happen in the first three months after transplantation. People who have had stem cell transplants may also have complications because of the chemotherapy and radiation given before the transplant. Such complications could require more treatments.

    Most people stay in the hospital for two to four weeks after a transplant. During this time, you will need special protection from infection. Everyone who comes into the room has to wear protective gloves and masks and wash their hands with antiseptic soap. Sometimes people entering the room need to cover their clothing with clean, disposable gowns. Fresh fruit, cut flowers, and plants are not allowed, because they can carry disease-causing mold or bacteria.
