The Bone Marrow Transplant Unit

Before your transplant you and your family will be shown around the transplant unit

Coming in for a bone marrow transplant can feel very strange. You will stay in hospital for around 6 weeks, sometimes longer. This may seem a long time and you probably want to know what will happen and how you will feel.

Everyone feels differently about coming into hospital. Do you feel excited, nervous, happy, frightened, sad, angry, scared or worried? You may find that it helps to talk about these feelings.

When you have your transplant you will need to go into a room on your own which will be your special bedroom, with your family of course. You will hear people call this 'isolation.'
