When you come out of hospital, you will have to be careful not to catch any germs. This means staying at home to begin with and maybe having 2-3 friends to visit you as long as they have no infections but the nurses will tell you about this. You should not go out to the shops or inside busy places but you can go outside into the fresh air and take short 
walks to the park if you feel strong enough.
You will not be able to go back to school for a few months but you will have a teacher who comes to your house instead.
You will probably feel quite tired a lot of the time too, especially if you have had radiotherapy. This is quite normal and you will get stronger every day and be able to do a bit more. Don’t 
worry if you need a sleep or a rest in the day.
When your new bone marrow is strong enough you will be able to go back to school. You may only go for half a day or for a few hours at first as you may still be very tired. Don’t worry about this.
