How long is bone marrow transplant recovery?
I was told I would be in the hospital for at least eight days. But, I ended up in the hospital for about three weeks. Everything after that is based on personal progress. I was told that after being released from the hospital, I would need to in our apartment near Mayo for at least 30 days up to 3 months. During that time, I visited the hospital once or twice per day until 30 days after transplant. After that, I was able to return home, but there are many complications that could land me back in the hospital at any time. There may be long term chronic problems after the transplant. If everything goes very well, I may be considered “cured” one year after the transplant.
