For marrow, the donor enters the hospital the day before or the day of the donation. Donors sometimes stay in the hospital overnight, returning home the next day. Most donors are able to go to work the day after donation, and you may feel back tenderness anywhere 1 week to 4 weeks after donation. For PBSC, no hospitalization is required, and you are typically fully recovered the day after.
