When Ben went home he had to come back to the hospital once or twice a week to have blood taken to make sure the medicines were working. Ben liked to go back to hospital because he enjoyed seeing all the doctors and nurses again.
When you return to the hospital, we will check your skin to make sure there are no spots or itchy patches. Sometimes your new bone marrow can have a fight with your body and give you a rash or a bad tummy so we need to keep checking you. You may need a different medicine to make it better. This can make you very hungry and you get a bit bigger. You must always tell your family if there is anything wrong so they can take you to the hospital to sort it out. Sometimes you may have to come back into hospital for a few days to sort out the problem.
