Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need a Bone Marrow Transplant?

A bone marrow transplant is needed when your bone marrow fails due to diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, or severe anemia, and cannot produce healthy blood cells. It replaces damaged marrow with healthy donor cells to restore blood production. Your doctor will recommend it based on your condition and treatment response.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Transplant Prep

Tests confirm donor match; conditioning (chemo/radiation) clears old marrow.

Anesthesia

Light sedation may be used for catheter placement; no surgery involved.

Transplant Procedure

Donor cells are infused via IV into your bloodstream to repopulate marrow.

Monitoring & Recovery

You’re monitored for engraftment and complications in isolation.

The infusion takes a few hours, but prep and recovery extend over weeks. Your team will explain each step.

What Could Go Wrong?

Bone marrow transplants are complex, with risks including:

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

Infections due to low immunity

Graft failure or rejection

Side effects from conditioning

Complications vary by patient but are managed by experts. SB Medical Travels partners with top centers to reduce risks.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation is critical for a successful transplant:

Before Transplant:

  • Complete conditioning (chemo/radiation) as scheduled

  • Adjust medications and avoid infections pre-transplant

  • Pack for an extended hospital stay with sterile items

  • Arrange support for post-transplant isolation and care

SB Medical Travels offers a detailed checklist and assistance with donor matching and logistics.

How Long Until I'm Back to Normal?

Recovery Timeline:

1
Hospital Stay

2-6 weeks, until new marrow engrafts and immunity stabilizes.

2
First 3 Months

Isolation at home; frequent checkups for infections or GVHD.

3
3-6 Months

Gradual return to light activities as immunity improves.

4
1 Year

Most resume normal life with ongoing monitoring.

Our team coordinates your recovery, including infection prevention and follow-up care.

Does It Hurt?

Pain is minimal during the transplant but varies during prep and recovery:

During Transplant

No pain; it’s like an IV infusion under light sedation if needed.

Conditioning Phase

Discomfort from chemo/radiation (nausea, fatigue).

Early Recovery

Mild aches or fatigue; managed with medication.

Long-Term

Minimal pain; focus shifts to rebuilding strength.

Our partner hospitals prioritize comfort, and we’ll ensure your process is well-managed.
